Exploring ideas

Learn how to analyze what you see in your search for inspiration. Transpose ideas rather than taking them literally. Play with materials and effects to create something new and original.

Create a design from the ideas around light and dark. Cut out shapes from thick black paper and place them onto a white sheet to show the contrasting tones and shapes. The shape of the black paper can then be cut again and spread out to create a more interesting form.

Use solid objects such as buildings to inspire a design. Find photographs of buildings and use pencil and paper to make tracings. Draw the spaces in between the buildings to see what sort of shapes emerge; see the outline they make against the sky.

Working up an idea from fabric can translate into lovely effects in metal, but remember that metal is not as flexible as fabric. Observe how a full skirt hangs, or is layered, or has an uneven hem. You could also think of using some fabric as an integral part of your design.

Gather a collection of leaves, stones, flowers, shells, and bark together and keep them together on or around your workbench. Instead of using the whole leaf or flower for inspiration, try dividing it up and working with just a small section; it could be more interesting than trying to copy it entirely.

Unit I10 Tips for Giving a Great Presentation in English

Being able to speak in public can change your life! Giving a good oral presentation involves time and skill. You need to learn how to research well, organize your ideas, engage your audience and feel confident talking in public.

Giving the perfect oral presentation in English requires practice. Remember that even great orators like Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King became excellent public speakers through years of dedicated practice.

When preparing your presentation in English, we recommend you watching and listening to the recordings of their public speeches as an example.

Think About the Details in Advance

Giving a presentation in front of an audience is always stressful. Thinking about such details as the location of the presentation, equipment, materials, timing, your appearance and outfit will help you avoid nervousness.

Do Your Homework

Effective preparation requires consideration of the following things:

• Ask yourself what the presentation is all about, its title and its goal
• Think about who your audience is
• Figure out what your main message is
• Think about the structure of the presentation: the opening, the main part and the summary
• Make it easier for the audience and yourself: use simple language
• Prepare yourself for questions. Think about what questions the audience might ask
• Usually an orator has a maximum of 15 minutes to present. So, make the presentation simple, have no more than 20 slides using a font that is legible from a distance
• Don't put large blocks of text in your presentation. No one will be interested in reading it; people prefer visual material. So think about images, graphs and videos that support your idea, but don't overwhelm the audience with too many visual aids
