Barcelona

Prior to my trip to Barcelona next month, I contacted two studios which I thought may respond to my work to see if I can pop by for a portfolio review or a chat.

Work Opportunities

Recently I’ve been trying to create job opportunities for myself. Using projects I’m already working on and turning them into potential projects I could propose to existing companies. I first approach a coffee shop about a mural I’d designed for their space. I also contacted the owner of a brewery that I’d done some rebranding for.

Presentation Workshop

Stretching out of my comfort zone will allow me to become better and present the best professional version of myself.

Content
Head - What/How/Where
Heart - Values/Beliefs/Purpose - More personal, including ‘heart’ points will make my presentation more unique.

Bookend - Beginning and End
This will allow the audience to know when the ending is without having to say so. 

Power of 3
More memorable 
Have a clear beginning, middle and end

Presentation structure 
*** Development > Transformation Process > Future Benefits - With Bookends***

Bones
  • How many parts?
  • Identify the bones 

Style
Speed/volume/pitch 
Choose when to speed up or slow down to emphasise a point

TIPS
Record myself + listen back
Pauses give people the chance to process the info I’m delivering 
Avoid crutch words (so, okay, right, like, um, err)
Appropriate eye contact
Awareness of unconscious tics
Positioning 

Memory Technique 
Think of a well known route 
Identify 14 points on that route 
Associate a point to each stop on the route, as I mentally walk the route I’ll remember each point at each specific spot.
