Tonight I presented my thesis findings to my advanced seminar class. While I still have some revisions to finish on the written component of my thesis, it felt great to share with my peers the broad strokes of my findings.

Also, as a visual thinker, it was really useful to summarize my thoughts using PowerPoint. I felt a bit schizophrenic creating the presentation; the designer in me wanted to take the “less is more” approach and use lots of abstract visual images to represent my ideas. However, the pragmatist ultimately won out, transforming my presentation into a bullet point/graphics heavy version of my forthcoming executive summary (on this weekend’s to do list.)

So, what do you think?
