Interim Presentation - Setup

I have decided to use Apple Keynote for my interim presentation, you can get som creative designs and interesting slide tranistions.

I also plan to take my new Apple MiniMac to the presention, I can speak from past experiance that creating presentations and applications at home, and then trying to run them on University computers can cause problems.

According to Steve Gardener who is responsible for the I.T, there will be computers and monitors available for the presentation. I noticed that all the PC monitors have VGA connectors and the Mac's there own special connector is used.

I managed to find some "normal" DVI monitors and asked if I could have one of those for my presentation, as my MiniMac only has a DVI connector. I did dome with a VGA adaptor but the qaulity though this is appauling.

My Apple MiniMac also comes with a remote, which can be used to advance slides. I feel this would be benifial as i could have a contiunus "flow" to my presentation and not stop to advance slides.

Interim Presentation

Its been a while since i have posted, this month involves my interim presenation.

I have been told I have to present in a 30 minite slot, the acutal presentation will be around 15 minites long.

The presentation is worth 10% of the entire project, so its very important i get it right and to a high standard.

At the moment, I do not know who I am presenting to. However I am looking forward to it, as I would like to have a working demo my the time i present.
