Juan Pablo Bernal Project Presentation

Of course these images are perhaps the most fun to create, and should show your design off to its absolute best. With these renders I created a suggestion of background in order to give the design a sense of context, as well as a feeling of speed and excitement. It is important to note however that the form is still very clear. You may want to include in your presentation a few of these images showing your design from different angles. Of course you may have a different style of rendering, which is good. So long as they are eye catching, exciting, and emotional.

With this image I wanted to show my design in a slightly different setting. The background I used here helps enhance the futuristic feeling of the design. Again the form is clear and easy to understand. Of course a little humour can also be useful, as it gives the viewer more reasons to want to look at your images. The storm trooper fit both this purpose as well as the general feeling of the image. I also wanted to use this image to show a slightly different rendering style. As a designer your style may develop and change over time. This can be a useful thing, as it widens your ability to present your work.

It is important to show more than the aesthetics of your design, you also have to show that you understand how it works. On this page my intention was to explain the functionality of the design. Here you can talk about the vehicle package, its dimensions, how to access the cabin, materials etc. etc. With this page I have shown some orthographic views, and some of the more technical aspects of the design. Whilst these images should be very clear in explaining how your design works, it is important to remember that this does not mean they should not be exciting to look at. As with everything you show in your presentation or folio it should display your artistic and visual skills.

I hope it has been useful to see how I approached this presentation. I do feel it is important to say however that this is just one of many ways to put a presentation together. The key thing to remember is that you show a wide range of ideas and thoughts, as well as your sketching and rendering skills. As a designer your job is to come up with many ideas, and your presentations should show this ability. Your ideas should also be presented in a clear and concise way, but also with plenty of visual excitement. If you can you should include images which show the full range of your skills, for example sketching, rendering, Photoshop, 3D, clay etc. etc. It can also be helpful to ask others to look at your presentation. They will see it with fresh eyes and will hopefully have useful advice. The most important thing however is to have fun and enjoy your work. Cheers, Juan Pablo Bernal
