Reviewing other people's blogs and also tapping in to my own creativeness has helped me think up some possible presentation ideas. 

My target audience is performers in this industry both professionals who are working now and also college students who are close to graduating. I feel that a visual source of information will be the perfect way to display my findings. It gives me the opportunity to create something exciting by using my own passion and creativeness. Being a performer myself, anything visual I find to be very appealing, therefore allowing me to take in the information with a better understanding and also making it more enjoyable. 

The last show I was part of required us to  learn about the British forces as this was the core of our show. We had an ex army   Leiutenant come in to give us a talk. He used a combination of slide shows using power point presentation as well as video footage, pictures and diagrams. Presenting this information to us in such a creative and enjoyable manner meant that as an audience we were pulled in right from the very beginning, enabling us to take in as much information as we could. This is an example of well thought out presentation, considering the audience and using techniques he knew would appeal to us. 

These experiences as well as reviewing other people's artefact ideas will allow me to create the best possible way of presenting my information. 

Sarah Robinsons blog 'some early thoughts on the professional artefact' (blog post 7/10/13) set off some light bulbs in my head. With inspiration from a fellow teacher, Sarah talks about the idea of flash cards, or something similar used as a quick and easy way of presenting the main points but to also give the audience the option, if they have the time, to delve deeper by providing them with other links. It could sort of be like an appendix I guess? 

I definitely want a visual approach to my artefact but I do feel text available to the audience is also vital. As I mentioned before, I could maybe provide them with links to more information. This could be digitally or hard copies. Maybe I could create a blog using video and pictures to display my findings but use text and links to support it all and give them the opportunity to discover more if they so wish. 

What is everyone else thinking?
