During the week, I put together a presentation for a business proposal that my supervisor was working on. Someone had worked on it prior but it was lacking a designer’s touch so it was my job to organize the information in a way that flowed organically to the eye. A lot of sections I noticed had too much going on and sometimes bombarded the reader with a wall of tiny text. I made it so it would be much easier to follow the details by sometimes changing the text into bullet points.
I noticed also, there was no consistency in the type. I altered the text on every slide to apply only two font variants throughout the document. I felt it was as important as the information in the document for the presentation to be consistent. There are many ways to appear professional, and each part is to be valued equally and I was encouraged by my supervisor to make sure the designs were representative of the time and research put in to developing the plan. Not to mention, the person who did the research did not speak English as their first language. They did a decent job but there were grammar errors that I had to change.
