So i think my presentation went ok. I had made notes on little flash cards. I chose flash cards because i thought it would encourage me to look at the page less and it also forced me to make my notes very short and concise. And then i got up in front of everyone and my cards immediately looked as though they were written in ancient egyptian. So i went off cards. I think it went well off the cards, i had only made my notes the night before. This was a specific decision because i felt like the earlier i wrote out my actual notes the earlier i start to freak out about them and get them confused in my mind. Whereas i figured if i did them the night before they would still be fresh in my mind the next day.
Luckily they were fresh in my mind, but also once i got up there i realised i have things to say about my work. I kind of know what direction i am heading in which is not something i am normally certain of. But putting it all out there and saying it out loud made it seem more real. And suddenly i have twice as many plans as i did before the presentation.
Things that are clear: (now that the rain has gone)
1. I want to work in cartoons and do my illustration in comics on the side
2. i have a much higher interest in cartoon and animation although i still don't think i am an animator.
3. I want to become a story board artist or a back ground artist for a cartoon company.
4. I want to be a ghost scout at ghost shrimp.
5. I want to use and improve my animation skills because it sets me out from other illustrators
6. I want to consider advertising as a venue for my work
7. I can explain intangible things best through short comedic gifs
8. Never underestimate the value of a gif
9. I am better at presenting in front of people than i thought
10. Ripping my shirt open and throwing confetti was my best idea this year.
