Final Presentation Prep

Part I - Practice oral presentation
For the final presentation each student will create a short (2 minute) presentation about their Memory Garment addressing these questions:

1. What did you make?
2. How did you make it?
3. Why did you make it?

It's not a lot of time to speak so be prepared - practice presenting your work out loud so that you can get to the most essential parts in the time you have.

Part II - Design slide to project while you're presenting
Because we will not have access to the dress forms the only way that your audience will see your garment is through a PowerPoint slide. Choose your imagery carefully and be sure to create a slide that shows your garment in the best light.
