ASSIGNMENT 3: Prepare and present a 4-6 minute product pitch using a pitch deck - 10 %
For this assignment, you will create a pitch deck PPT to try to 'sell' your new product idea to your professor, who is playing the role of your design firm president. You are competing against the other junior designers in your company (the other students in your class) to see whose idea will be developed into an actual product.
Students must sign up one week prior to the presentations, for time slots in the class time allotted. Pitches should consist of a PPT or similar digital presentation, with 10 - 20 slides containing images and precis text, along with a presenter's script, and be between 3 - 5 minutes long. You may choose from the products below, or design your own idea. Both presentation 1 and 2 will be evaluated with the same rubric - see below. You do not need to create a completely new product, but you should have an original idea. Please do not create a product pitch for Starbucks or Samsung! You may use online images, stock photos, mockups, or your own photos. If you substitute the logo with your own design, you get a 1 % bonus point. You must create a 'credits' slide with the image urls and websites of your references/resources. |
