Leslie Jensen-Inman, the teacher of my Graphic Design Workshop 2 class, assigned a presentation project recently. Each student was given a power verb, and asked to create a presentation based directly or indirectly on the assigned verb. We were given free reign on this project, as far as what concept we chose to present to our fellow classmates. The only guidelines were, the presentation had to be created in Keynote and presented within five minutes.

Save was my assigned power verb. I chose to take the literal approach and create a presentation geared towards graphic designers, stressing the importance of saving. That concept sounds unnecessary, I know, but as soon as I heard my power verb, I had a scene in mind. Please see below.

I chose to inform my classmates of the importance of saving, with the help of my friend, humor. Everyone enjoys a good laugh. Creating a situation in the presentation every designer can relate to, makes for a connection between the presenter and the audience.
