Design Context Presentation

Just a quick follow up post on the first FMP presentation. Although it generally went fine, I definitely focused too much on the design practice, and the time I spent talking about the work I have been producing should have really been spent on expanding the design context. The design context that I did talk about however was starting to get there, in terms of identifying agencies and designers that produce work of the sort that interests me. I talked of my concerns in limiting myself too much, that really I would like to get some branding/logo design into my portfolio, which mainly came from my conversation with Lee from Propaganda. Fred however pointed out that it is because of the nature of the agency he worked for that lead him to suggest producing logo based work, although if I wanted to pursue it there is the option of combining it with somehow with my technical illustration/information design interests.

Couple of key slides from my presentation, the first over which I talked about the importance of terminology with regards to technical illustration, and the second was simply some of the key perspectives and views that are frequently used.
