Pros and Cons of Digital vs Physical presentation

Some of the pros of digital presentation include: Digital work is much easier to edit seamlessly than physical work, annotated screengrabs can be used in the place of sketches in some cases, everything is much easier to keep in order. However, one major con of digital presentation is that you have a risk of not saving your work and losing everything and having to redo everything you have just done - there is no risk of this with physical work. Some of the pros of physical presentation include: You have more control over the intricate details of the aesthetic of your work, and like mentioned before, you can't forget to save your work, so can't lose everything and have to restart. The cons of physical presentation are that: It could be difficult to get all handwritten notes into one place and in order, and that it is harder to add anything digital to physical work, than it is to add physical work to a digital presentation.

My major experience in presenting projects is the DT GCSE coursework. I used a mix of physical and digital work and presentation. Given that I was doing a graphic design based product, I used a lot of annotated screengrabs of my work, but also drew some diagrams and sketches onto printed sheets of A3 that went into my coursework folder. For me, the digital presentation was most useful as I was spending a majority of my course in front of a computer, doing digital work. But attempting to do any kind of sketching digitally was impossible, so I did have to do some physical presentation when it came to sketches and diagrams in particular - this digitally is the key issue. I personally, though, still prefer to do the majority of my presentation digitally. This is because I feel that it helps with my organisation, as well as allowing me to focus on the content of what I am presenting more, because I am less focussed on the appearance of my work than I would be if I was presenting physically.
