Research Exercise 2

For this research task, we were required to find 3 examples of graphic presentations styles and methods and to analyse each of these examples stating the facts that make the board effective based on my personal view.

This is the first example of a presentation board that I have selected to talk about.  The primary reason of why I like this particular presentation board is mainly due to its layout. The use of the perspective view positioned so prominently in the centre of the page allows one to to start to notice the various use of materials that are shaded in different colours that you would not be able to notice instantly in a real photograph such as the one positioned behind the perspective view. However, the use of the photograph blended in with the background also brings a sense of reality to aid the perspective sketch in portraying the design. The elevations of the building also play a role in allowing one to understand the design even further for this particular project.

This presentation board in my opinion is a great example of board conveying its content. To clarify further, the colour scheme and layout of this particular board strongly compliment the content that is on the board itself. The content conveys a futuristic prototype of a designed product and when looking at the layout and colour scheme of this board, one can instantly gain the futuristic feeling. It is a feeling that is almost develops naturally when looking at this presentation board.


My last example of a presentation board is an excellent one in terms of its layout and positioning of content. The top part of this board shows a real photograph of the subject which in this case is a house and the viewer of this board can instantly understand or partially understand what the remaining content on this presentation board will be about. The text columns are delicately and evenly spaced to create for easier reading. Each paragraph is supported by an image so that the reader can relate to the content of the paragraph when looking at the image next to it. The use of subtle colours is a good choice to disallow specific elements from dominating the board. All in all this presentation board is excellent in its layout and use of colours as well as relating images to text.
