Hello Luis, I enjoyed the expansive information you presented on failure. I particularly like your inclusion of quotes from other designers regarding failure. I can see that segment alone isolated and slightly expanded into a shorter video presentation. I think your topic will be able to reach a wider audience in doing so. In closing, your presentation video is very educational in its message for hope, practice, and self-understanding.
Thank you Marcia! I hope you have a blissful time from now till the next semester, Happy Holidays!
Love this presentation, Luis. Every now and then I need a reminder that failure is here to teach you to be better. I think that this was an excellent topic, and I loved how you were able to tie this to design.
Thank you my man! Have a save holiday ! hope to been in the same class next semester !
I think you did a good job crafting this presentation; it’s well thought out. My only feedback would be that you lost me in some cases, like talking about the phoenix and the leaf. I understood you were trying to present them as examples of symbols and signs; perhaps you could have dictated that verbally for your audience. Other than that, I think your use of a designer/artist quote was great, as it set the tone for inspiration and how failure can be seen from a positive perspective. You could have even provided examples from your life of how you handle failure. Great job overall!
HEY Nathaly thank you for the feedback! I will not lie to you Nathaly I also lost myself in that part as well but I will take this feedback into consideration for future topics/presentations. The examples of my own failure would have been a perfection addition so to speak, have a blissful holiday and time with your family! Use your voice !!
The one and only! Great presentation, my friend! I really connected with your topic. The way you talked about how artists and creatives deal with failure was so relatable and inspiring. It’s so true that failure isn’t just a setback but a huge learning opportunity and even a sign you’re on the right track. Honestly, your topic felt like a much-needed pep talk. Amazing job, dude!
