FMP Presentation Reflection

My FMP pitch overall went really well, as I kept the presentation really simple and did not look down at my notes throughout. The slideshow I created was very minimalistic, as the majority of the pages just had picture mood boards and photographs. This is because I wanted all the attention on what I was saying, rather than the audience reading off the board. This makes it feel more personal, especially when I make eye contact rather than speaking word for word off either the board or my notes.

Also I found that when I was presenting, the images jogged my memory on what to say next and therefore everything that I wanted to cover was mentioned. Something that I would improve about my presentation would be to have some sort of theme throughout the slides, sticking to a colour scheme and maybe one font, so that the overall pitch would come across more professional and organised.

The feedback given made me really think about the content of my magazine, as I needed a more definite idea for an article and a clearer theme for my photography. I have now got a 'Style inspired by nature' article topic, where I can interview the star {Imogen Cambridge}. I also need to decide on a structure at which I am going to stick to when designing the layouts of my magazine pages, as this would make the project look accomplished and would confirm my brand image.

I would also like to go back and write an introduction to my primary research infographic, so that the data collected and where I got it from is clearly stated. I also need to continue with the majority of the secondary research, so that I have enough knowledge on high end magazines for when I come to compare and critique. After that, I am going to write my reflection blog post on my research overall and how collecting information/data is very important and can be useful, before starting the production process.
