Presentation Skills
Planning
Planning is essential when creating a presentation as the subject of the presentation needs to be well researched before it is put into words. Putting pen to paper is also a good idea with such things as spider diagrams and bullet points being a good start when thinking about what is needed.
Visual Aids
Visual aids can be vital when planning and presenting. This can be such things as the content of the presentation such as wording as it is a known fact that people viewing presentations do not like seeing a lot of words. It also can be such things as the design and layout of the presentation as especially as a designer the visual aspect has to keep the viewer interested otherwise they won't take it seriously.
Rehearse
Rehearsing is essential as without this it can make your presentation laughable. A well presented presentation is based of confidence and by rehearsing this can help you have the confidence to realise which part you need to talk about instead of looking at the presentation and just going with it.
Answering Questions
Most people will want to ask you as the presentor, a question once the presenation has been complete. This can be sometimes tricky as they may ask something that you have no knowledge about but usually with it being a presentation about something you have rehearsed it should be easy when part of the audience ask a question.

What design means
Something genuine
This means that creating a design which is completely individual. It could be simliar to other websites but throwing your own ideas and drawing them out first can always help create a genuine design which no one else has. This could be things from design, logo, content and style.
Putting the pieces together
This can be things such as concept of the product, the message the product is sending out and also the feel of the product. These are essential as the product needs to look appealing and make the viewer want to stay, without this it may as well not exist.
Generating Ideas
Brainstorming
Brainstorming is very important as this can always help generate an idea, it can be such things as spider diagrams, writting ideas down and sticking them to a wall etc depending on how you want to do it. When researching the internet, books, magazines etc will usually help massively when needing ideas.
Daydream
Daydreaming can help as it can take your mind off the subject that you need to be working on. By doing this you can relax your mind and think of other things which could give you a brilliant idea.

Carry a notepad
Carrying a notepad around can prove very handy as when being told something you can always write down an idea even if you don't end up using the thought.

Project Planning
Project Goals
The project goals mean that planning first is essential as the client you are dealing with will want to know what they are going to receive from your service. Researching the client first is always a good step so you can get a background of what they do, what their interests are, how they want to be portrayed etc. Once the researching has been completed you will need to find out their needs and what they want from you on their product.
Project Schedule
The main part of a project schedule is working out which areas need more effort than others, planning out how long each part will take (days, hours) and also calculating a completion date.
