based loosely on the notes i took when we talked about this in class...i feel a little like the final presentation will essentially be a lively explanation of the abstract, with sort of a more strictly defined "next steps" section.
FINAL presentation [wednesday during finals week] outline
-overview: guests probably won't know much about our general topic, so be as
specific and succinct as possible, the 5-7 minute policy will be more strictly
enforced.
basically, go through the history again, the traditions and customs that have built the current electric guitar industry; outlining how it is backwards-looking and very against change, and underlining that while my project will likely involve proposing a change to the way the industry works i do not intend to just throw away the rich legacy that is electric guitars.
-problem: be specific about the problem space we are defining. this will likely
be 2/3 of the whole presentation.
reiteration of the concerns on how the stress on vintage styles and traditions in the industry have caused instruments to change little and spawning wave after wave of knockoffs and similar instruments that have not necessarily had good design research performed as far as ergonomics and ease of use. obviously i don't mean the previous sentence as an all-inclusive end all be all [or however the phrase goes] statement, just a thought.
i want to make clear that certain physical interactions between the stakeholders are not really the most comfortable or healthy without needing to go too far technical.
-suggest a course of action: what next? be specific here as well so that we can
get good feedback on our chosen course of action's feasibility, mention artifact
suggestions [what to make?] and goals to achieve.
uhh....let me come back to this...yup
