A busy couple of weeks working on a couple of really interesting projects. We were asked to design a layout surrounding the subject of marine planning in England, based on a narrative supplied by our client. The layout included a number of diagrams and business models which had to initially be designed from scratch.

To accompany the above, we were also asked to build a presentation, revolving around the above layout and an actual scale model of a marine area which we captured in a separate shoot on the client’s premises earlier in the year. You can view that post here.

Our client really wanted to woo their board members with something that was a little out of the ordinary and quite far removed from the traditional slide by slide presentation we’re all quite used to. We had a good hunt around and came across a nice little application called ‘Prezi’ - an editor that let us work directly from our internet browser, without the need to install a thing! The benefits were that we could easily, and immediately share the prezi with our client and even invite them to work collaboratively within the same space at the same time! This really helped in cutting down the usual toing and froing with drafts/proofs etc.

You can find Prezi here and I for one would urge any organisation or individual who wants to develop contemporary and dynamic presentations to at least have a look. It might not be for everyone, but isn’t it time we inflicted a more visually compelling presentation on our viewers who will stay fully engaged throughout? Decide for yourselves!
