The Skill Of Presenting Design Work

• Always practice. It is essential in ensuring a quality given presentation and delivery. “10,000 hours” rule.
• Remember feedback - take notes. Don't be afraid to ask after for feedback and actively apply the feedback given next time.
• Focus on key features instead of an extensive walkthrough areas that are simply not necessary enough to show. Pick a feature and show how it works start to finish.
• Show the right process to the right audience. Filter presentations to suit accordingly.
• Consider different approaches to a physical to an online presentation. 2 very different things. Always ensure tech is set up and everything is working beforehand.
• When collecting feedback post presentation, make it easy for there audience to do so. Google docs, prototype links, or scheduled calls.
• Rules. Keep slides simple, just text and images. Prototype videos are allowed.
• Give your audience a job. Identify usability issues etc.
• Ask key questions (audience involvement).
  • Will this work for customers?
  • Is it technically possible?

Designers must be strong presenters to communicate their ideas effectively. A well structured presentation, being able to handle feedback - and ask for it - the correct way, keeping the audience engaged with the exact amount of detail necessary are all crucial factors in making design work impactful.
