Final Presentation

For the class final, each student will present the work completed throughout the semester. Your presentation should showcase the full scope of your progress, demonstrating your understanding of identity development and the branding process. You will compile supporting materials to illustrate your work. (See the list below for specific presentation components and requirements.)

Each student will have 6 minutes to present their work – focusing on projects 3 (Merchandise & Signage) & 4 (Screen Based Media). Please be sure to practice your presentation beforehand to ensure it fits within the time limit. A timer will be used to track your time, and we will allow a few minutes for feedback after each presentation – 10 minutes total per student.
