Creative Presentation Ideas

  1.  What do I need to communicate?
  2.  Identify your audience. (Young? Adult? Professional? Non-Scientific? etc.)
  3.  What are your strengths? 
  4.  What medium will connect with both the information and the audience?

Don't be afraid to take another framework and re-create it to suit your topic. If there is a purpose and meaning behind your creative creation and it can be explained, then give it a go.

When you have selected your medium, ask yourself these questions:

  1.  How does my medium connect with my audience or message? What is the 'story' behind the connection?
  2.  Logistics: How long will this take to create? What equipment do I need?
