25. Systematizing and Indexing
“Systemising is a holistic and
concrete procedure for
investigating the entire
workings of an entity or a set of
related practices. Systematizing
is an “abstracting” process
whereby elements, their
relationships, sequences, and
operations, are able to be
documented in different
symbolic forms, be they
metaphorical or mathematical”
“Indexing is another strategy
that is a useful organizational
tool that helps visualise objects
as typologies, taxonomies, or
trees situated around certain
hierarchical criteria”
26. Mapping and Modeling
“Mapping is a process of
locating theories and ideas
within existing conceptual
frameworks so as to reveal
underlying structures and
systems of connections”
“Modeling is a multidimensional
reconstructive process and
requires the capacity to strip
complex phenomena into its
constituent parts and to visualize
their relationships. Process-
oriented where information about
the relationships among features
within a structure is sought”
27. Representing and Narrating
“The basic premise is the
acceptance that something
created or constructed can
stand for something else”
“Conventional definitions
describe narrative as an
account of a sequence of
events, actions, or ideas that
can be fact or fiction”
28. Conceptualizing and Designing
Visual analogy
> translate meaning
Visual metaphor
> transform meaning
Visual homology
> transcribe meaning “…the design process is
generally seen to be a problem-
solving strategy that moves
through a series of phases as a
need is identified, constraints
considered, concepts and ideas
proposed, a prototype designed
and tested, and modifications
made.”

How can I start this lecture… Thinking about one of my worst presentations and one of my better ones. Worst one when I was in school making a presentation about derivation
Ø = 1.61803399... and 1/Ø = 0.6180339…
AND one good presentation about my films. (asked to prepare a keynote that ended up in a semi-structured discussion)
Practicing before giving presentations. As I learned working for a local TV station, it is about rehearsing and rehearsing
YES I DO USE POWERPOINT, there is other tools available but its seems quite good to organise ones words, videos, media, etc.

Some good practice examples… If you vote for me I will vote for yours…
Pecha Kucha is a presentation format where each presenter is allowed 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds each, automatically advancing – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of presentation. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to showcase their work.
Prezi spinns a bit too much for me, but if you like it you might be able to express someone….
Great resource and good combination of form and content
Logic: we need to make sure that there is solid logic in our presentation and that our recommendations are robust;
Rhetoric: we must tell an interesting story, in a compelling way. Logic is important, but of no use to you if everyone has tuned out because they are bored;
Graphics: to make sure that you are using the most effective visual elements and overall layout;
Politics: to apply effective influence in order to get your audience to take action; and
Metrics: to be clear on what the specific objective is for the presentation, and how success will be measured.
There are two steps in each of the five elements, for a total of ten steps.
These steps are:
Audience: Identify the communication preferences of the different personality types
Objectives: Set specific objectives for what you want your audience to think and do differently after your presentation
Problem/Solution: Identify a problem your audience has that your presentation will contribute to solving
Evidence: List all the information that you think you may need to include in your presentation
Anecdotes: Identify brief anecdotes that highlight your most important points
Sequencing: Sequence your information so that it tells a compelling story
Graphics: Identify the most effective graphical elements to use in your presentation
Layout: Create slides that communicate your information concisely and effectively
Stakeholders: Identify any potential roadblocks to achieving your objectives, and make a plan to deal with each
Measurement: Decide how you will measure the success of your presentation
One important thing to note about this method is that you will not draw any slides—in fact do not even launch PowerPoint

Simplicity
balanced asymmetry
beautifully minimalist
Naturalness
Profundity or suggestion rather than revelation
Freedom from habit or formula
Tranquility or an energized calm

Forming ideas is a creative and critical act that relies in part on individual imaginative proclivities, yet the process is also mediated by community contexts. … A creative idea, therefore is not only a product of individual visuaisation, but its degree of originality will be determined by what currently exists within similar genres in the field.
