Recap - Final Presentation

Speaking of formal design communication, my class just gave our final presentations for our workstations.  While I am very proud of the final product and my presentation delivery, it seemed that the panel of 6 critiquers were confused about the whole project!  I did my best to brief them on the biofeedback background, transition into my design direction, and ultimately, my final design.  Looking back on the critique, I should have taken more control of my presentation.  The panel was sitting very far away and made comments that they could not see certain supporting images on my board.  I should have encouraged them to come closer and review the board more in-depth. Also, a few member of the panel focused their questions on biofeedback and the military rather than my design.  The presentation was taking a different turn...a turn for the worst...I let the questions continue for too long and there was little critique on my actual project!  I have learned from this experience and have used it as a practicing tool for my many presentations to come.
