Research Showcase (WR 14)

This Tuesday is the 2014-2015 ISM research showcase. At this event, I will be displaying all of the research I have been doing this entire semester. This will include having my presentation board, portfolio/binder, my atmosphere, and of course myself. I have prepared all of these things in advance and they should be all ready to go, despite some expected last minute changes. Theoretically all I have to do is show up!

There is a great amount of planning and preparing that will go into the showcase on Tuesday. First, I  have my display-board (Seen below). I put a lot of time into it making sure everything was perfect. I also have updated my portfolio to include every assessment I have done so far in ISM. This includes; All my research assessments, interview assessments, weekly blogs, and all of the other various assessments. Finally, I have been preparing my 'atmosphere' for the table. While most people put snacks or refreshments, I am going to have a 'create your own song' element to my display. I will have my portable studio setup, and allow people to record their own short song. This will be great because it will give people a realistic idea of what music production is. Now, with every detail in place, all I have to do is show up.
