Planning…
Think about what you
want to say and how to present it
You need to have an introduction,
a body and a conclusion.
Introduce the two
brands you have decided to look at and what you are going to talk about in your
visual essay.
Talk about the image
and use a relevant image for each slide.
Treat it like a story
– treat it with a beginning – middle and end.
Go out with a bang – remember
to conclude everything you have found, it’s the opportunity to show what you
have learnt.
