Self Evaluation
I had real trouble thinking about the best way to come across visually in this presentation, whilst still being reflective of the year so far and myself as a practitioner. If I had a style and a consistent way of working to reflect myself and my practice, then I would apply this to the presentation, but lets face it - every piece of work I have ever done for every single module on this course over the last 2 years has been vastly different from the last. If I was to try and create a series/set of images for example, one image to appear on each slide and clearly linking in style and aesthetic to all the others - it would not be reflective of my year or practice as a creative / illustrator.

I have no one set style and I am not sure I ever will - which still worries me to this day despite attempting to capitalise on this, promoting my ethos of "no style is my style".

I wanted to include images of my work throughout the year on each slide mainly to keep my audience in mind. I am presenting to an audience who have no idea about me and my practice and what I have achieved so far whilst being on this course and throughout level 5, therefore found it silly to not have visual examples linking to what I am talking about in my presentation. In my head visual examples should work hand in hand with what I am saying and convey my ideas and journey-hopefully strengthening the overall message and conveying me as a practitioner. The slides are not bombarding in terms of imagery, just a select few pieces as visual reference and I feel overall this works well. My journey has been vast and varied, therefore my presentation and imagery/aesthetic reflects this.

This final PPP presentation is an extremely personal one to me, as this year has been such a difficult, exciting, stressful and impactive journey - one that I will continue to learn from for the rest of my life - this is no joke.
On the day of the presentation, I may just have to bring in cake - in the hope of distracting everyone / sweetening the blow of what has the potential to be one of the most nerve-racking experiences I have ever undergone, especially at this moment in my life when I am dealing with many personal, mental and physical issues surrounding clinical depression & anxiety.
