Poster and Pitch Reflections (Week 5)

Everyone was hyper stressed about the pitch this week and making sure we had a whiz bang presentation that looked a million dollars. I kept having to remind the group that the majority of the marks were actually for the proposal document and we should be spending our time refining that to make the best use of our time.

Because the pitch was based on my original poster concept I was able to recycle a lot of the content from my original pitch and we even reused the poster image again as a one of our slides. Ill be the first to admit that the poster itself is pretty ugly, but I like bright colours, and hopefully with the arrows it got the message across. It was a lot easier to talk to when it was projected up on the big screen and we were able to structure our group presentation around the steps it illustrated. 

The prezi presentation that Rena built was fantastic and really helped to show our concept, and everyone pitched in to explain the area of the project that there were working on in more detail. While we got grilled a little bit on our Audience, I feel that the research Lilly conduced and the evidence we have suggests that it will be an appropriate group to aim for provided the difficulty level is not too steep.

Lilly took notes of the feedback and created a neat little table for us to put on the team blog.
