This exercise is a follow on from Studio Exercise 3. In Week 5 you will be creating a presentation board to bring the week 4 studio exercise and this research exercise together.
Find at least 3 examples of graphic presentations styles, and methods and analyse what it is that makes the board effective from your perspective (others will have different reactions to the same boards...). Post the presentation boards on to your blog (with attribution!) and write a couple of sentences as an explanation of why you like each one. This should result in you having some background and ideas from which to get started putting together your own boards during the week 5 studio.
These boards are intended to be a set of graphic designs that 'sell' the design to the viewer. They are not necessarily a direct, literal, display of factual information (such as plans), although they certainly should include such material where it suits your broader purpose. Rather, they should evoke emotion, interest, intent - whether through design, colour, movement, or other contrivance. They might be conceived as a graphic version of the abstraction process you went through as part of the paper folding exercise.
An example of a presentation board can be found here: http://marthamasliarch1390.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/final-submission.html. This is a board produced as part of the final submission in last year's Digital Representation Studio. I do not intend that you spend as much time producing this as Martha will have put into the example shown here. Another example is: http://mwsl-arch1390.blogspot.com.au. Have a look at other boards from the same class. We will be looking at presentation materials and styles as part of the lecture time in Week 5, and this will lead directly on to working on the boards in the studio time.
