a composition it seems like a mess of dices, stacks on top of each other.There is absolutely no way of telling the audience which one to look at first.

Grids allows the viewers to view all objects and a specific objects at the sametime. With so many items to be composed within a presentation board, grids(or I called it as 'invincible lines') could be used to organized all the item insidethe presentation board.

Drawing source: tsouk.yannis

These 'grids' can be created freely not by a fixed margin. I recommend usingthe drawing itself to create the guide for each 'invincible lines'. Take note theempty 'white' spaces in between each elements. Using contrast, empty spaceswithin the board is a tool to highlights and compliments any items. It allowsobjects that is in color to stand out even more without overwhelming thedrawings.

2. The Vision Formula - Using Distances as a guide

Distances in between your audience and your presented work

Distance have an effect towards the presentation board. Using sizes/ scaleof the drawings, your audience can be guided to see the items that you wishto highlights in terms of its importance. The distance from your audiencetowards your presentation are usually 1.5 m to 3m (depends on the size of that space/ room/ how many sets of drawings).

Below is a suggestion which I called as 'Visual Formula' in terms of determining types of drawing scales in the composition board. The further thedrawings from the distance of your audience, the least importance of thecontent should be. This will allows you to put the most 'eye catching' image or drawings that briefly shows the overall idea of your design.

The Vision Formula: Type of drawing = Size = Distances

Turns the drawing into symbols for easy composing

Take note, if you decided to include small texts - just remember only you whoare able to read the text and not your audience from a distance. I recommendto visualize this texts into diagrams/ sketches if possible with a brief keywordsto represent it. It is best to keep the text at minimum in the presentationboard.

3a. Composing with grids

Borrowing from graphic design techniques, turn each objects (sketches,diagrams and drawing) into basic symbols to generate various sets of composition layouts.

Examples of composition with grids

Take note: Once a grid have been decided, it is to be followed rigorously. Usepencil to generate this grid which can easily be erased later on.

3b. Composing presentation like a storyboard.

When you began composing, organized it based on several important points*.It could be: in how you approached your design idea, solutions that was taken,several issue at site to be resolved, a specific design theory that was raised,etc.

All these point are to be arranged in sequences of process towards the designsolution.

*It could varies for each designs and designers.

This method allows:

- As a guide for you during presentation.Sometimes you will be interrupted during presentation by questions from your audience. Its good to know what you have covered and locating the next itemsto be presented. Putting these items according to the sequence also helps if you are nervous (be sure to look your audience in the eyes duringpresentation and always points back to the board as your visual evidence).

- Storytelling is an interesting way to keep your audience in tune with your presentation.

- Easy for your audience to 'read' your presentation board (if it is a pin-up onlypresentation).

Finally... Combination of guide 1 + 2 + (3a + 3b) = Impacts & Clarity
