Here's how you can exude confidence in your design presentation.

Connaître son sujet est un élément primordial lors d’une présentation. Même si vous avez des doutes par moment, si vous avez l’air sûr de vous votre interlocuteur vous fera confiance. Renseignez-vous sur tous les éléments de votre présentation afin d’être à l’aise et de ne pas rencontrer d’obstacle ou afin de ne pas être confronté à une question que vous n’avez pas anticipé. Il ne s’agit pas de connaître votre discours par cœur mot pour mot, mais plutôt de connaître le sujet et de comprendre les raisons des choix qui ont été faits.

I believe the best approach is to look at your audience as if they were someone you know. Look at what your presenting as a conversation, it will make it easier to exude confidence. After all we're all humans and your audience will feel more engaged this way. It helps to know the subject of your deck but you shouldn't memorize it word by word or you'll become very stiff. Use as your guideline and visual support for your speech.

Creo que el secreto para ser un muy buen ponente, es definitivamente manejar de derecha a izquierda o de izquierda a derecha, todos los conceptos qué vas a abordar durante la exposición. Así que práctica, investiga, conoce a profundidad cada mínimo detalle. Y como sugerencia personal siempre busca hacerte preguntas que podrían hacerte durante la exposición, para cerrar esas preguntas antes de que alguien más las haga. Es decir explora todos los ángulos y explicarlos antes de que alguien más pueda verlos.

Know beyond what you are presenting. Know the presentation by heart but it's best if you know context, history or anecdotes about what's in your presentation as well. IT shows a true depth and understanding of the topic at hand and helps everyone perceive you as knowledgeable. Eg. If you are presenting a brand strategy for a new brand, it will help to know how other legacy brands in the market have evolved over time and why. This will help bring more credibility to your design decisions.

Engage your audience by using storytelling techniques to make your presentation more relatable and emotionally resonant. Incorporate high-quality images, graphics, and videos to support your points and maintain visual interest, ensuring that your audience stays captivated and connected throughout the presentation.

Crafting a compelling story for your design presentation is key to engaging your audience and making your ideas memorable. 1) Start with a hook 2) Introduce the problem 3) Present the solutions 4) Show the design process 5) Highlight key feature 6) Evidence of success 7) Memorable closing By following this structured approach, we can craft a compelling and confident design presentation that captures our audience’s attention and effectively communicates the value of our design.

La práctica frente a un espejo, una cámara, a tus amigos o pareja. Ayuda a mantener esa confianza en ti. Reconocer tu ritmo de voz, revisar tus palpitaciones. Todo esto nos permite poder fortalecer nuestras virtudes como speaker.

Siempre recuerde estar abierto a la retroalimentación. La retroalimentación es la única herramienta que te va a permitir crecer desde los aspectos que tú no puedes ver. Aprovecha esos momentos para expandirse como una persona especializada. La retroalimentación siempre tiene un ángulo diferente de un problema o un error. Búscalo a otro nivel.

Visual aids are essential in a design presentation to effectively communicate your ideas, highlight key points, and keep your audience engaged. 1) Practice different kinds of visual aids 2) Designing effective slides 3) Using images and graphics 4) Incorporating videos 5) Showcasing prototypes and demos 6) Creating infographics and mockups 7) Practical tips 8) Engage the audience with visualization By effectively using visual aids, we can enhance our design presentation, making it more engaging, informative, and convincing.

Utilize recursos visuais para complementar a sua apresentação. Foque em colocar os que realmente estão associados ao que está sendo dito no slide e procure não colocar imagens demais: a ideia é comunicar e não sobrecarregar. Quanto ao tipo de criativo que você utilizará, depende muito da necessidade. Utilize vídeos somente se for para passar uma ideia ou conceito com maior precisão ou ainda se for para trabalhar em cima da opinião de outro profissional.

Confidence comes from preparation. By thoroughly preparing your material, practicing your delivery, and believing in your work, you can exude confidence and deliver a design presentation that truly shines. 1) Knowing your audience 2) Presentation technology 3) Managing nerves This will allow you to effectively showcase your design work and leave a lasting impression.
