Thinking Ahead - Presentation

Another piece of my presentation on Alternative Fuels is going to be a 3D model of a Hydrogen Generator. I will use Google sketch-up to create this model, which will give people an idea to develop on. Something else that I could bring in to help make my idea stand out would be a demonstration. This would help promote my idea because it would make it more realistic and doable. After I have every bodies attention I will make my presentation short and catchy so that everyone listen and doesn't stray away from it.

Five Ideas Gained Through Research:
  1. YouTube Video - http://www.slidequest.com/133/how-to-insert-youtube-videos-in-apple-keynote-presentation/
  2. Game Show - http://www.almorale.com/ideas.html
  3. Create an Activity - http://www.presentation-process.com/creative-presentation-ideas.html#.TzK_ztVVVIE
  4. Demonstration - http://www.presentation-process.com/creative-presentation-ideas.html#.TzK_ztVVVIE
  5. Cartoon Sketch-Up - http://www.vidoons.com/
I could incorporate some of these ideas in my presentation. I could use my hydrogen generator as a demonstration model. I could also use my YouTube PSA Video and make it into a Sketch-Up. Lastly, I could make up an interactive game or activity to test what knowledge my listeners have gained from my presentation. What I learned from the TED talk on my subject was that they were mainly focusing on the subject and not on the presentation method, so I will go a different way and focus on presentation technique along with my subject.

    Creation of Poster Design - First Draft

    I thought a lot about how my poster should be, and I finally decided I would make a picture collage poster. I put in plenty of pictures on different element of alternative fuels. These include benefits, types, etc. I also added a quote to get the overall meaning of the poster! I found all my pictures on Google Images, I put them together in Adobe Photoshop, and then created the quote myself.
