OUGD502 - Studio Brief 03 - Life's A Pitch - Presentation Plan & Production

As I have handled all communication with Deuce and people interested in buying prints, Harrison was more comfortable for me to focus on communicating our idea and putting together the presentation plan. For this reason, I was in charge of structuring the presentation, and Harrison was in charge of visually putting it together.

To try and explain our proposal as clearly as possible I separated the presentation into 6 stages. Cue notes were made in bullet points to remind us of what we needed to verbally explain, whilst the text in speech will be placed on the slides for people to read as we go along. The plan made can be read below:

Introductory Page - 'A poster project that allows us to improve our skills and push our creativity in various software'.

• Explain what Designbytwo is, how long we have been doing it for and why we launched it.

Current Designbytwo Situation - 'We have gained quite a few followers on our Instagram account and have been asked about buying prints, from people in different areas of the World. This needs to be addressed and resolved'.

• Explain how we currently distribute our work and why we want to expand on this to reach a wider audience and take the focus away from being just digital.

Online Store Proposal - 'To make the ordering of physical prints more accessible to customers that live in different countries, an online store would make the process clearer and easier. This way, we could bring some of our older posters into the spotlight again, with different section'.

• Talk about the first main proposal and why we want to launch an online store. Considerations such as cost and web design ability will be explained.

Set-up Stall/Exhibition Proposal - 'Our second plan is to set up a small stall or exhibition in Leeds to increase the exposure of our posters and try to make a profit that will allow further projects to be developed and funded'.

• Talk about where we would like to create an exhibition/stall with cost considerations and a rough time-scale.

Stay Local - 'We have gained quite a few followers on our Instagram account and have been asked about buying prints, from people in different areas of the World. This needs to be resolved'.

• Whilst we want to stay local in terms of the exhibition we need to consider followers that aren't from Leeds. Promotion on social media would be key in attracting an audience from various places - not just Leeds followers.

After presenting these sections to Harrison he visually created a presentation layout that could be used for each page. The introduction page can be seen below. We spent a few nights rehearsing the presentation to ensure that it was within the 10 minute requirement. After we were confident with the content and thought that the presentation was as professional as possible we were ready to go ahead with proposing our idea.
