13 Ways Designers Screw Up Client Presentations The hardest part of design is presenting work. You can’t even argue about this. I’ve seen people who did amazing work get up in front of a client and lay eggs. I’ve also seen people do alright work and work clients around their little finger. Optimally, you want to do good work and present it well. And, no, this is not an additional skill. The first time I presented design to a client I absolutely choked. 1. Your client hired you because you are the expert at what you do. They will ask you to do things that run counter, in your expertise, to achieving the goal. 2. This is your room. It should go without saying that you dressed nicely and your hands are out of your pockets. 3. Do not start the presentation with an apology or disclaimer. No matter how much more you had hoped to present, by the time you get in that room, whatever you have is exactly the right amount of work. Obviously, don’t do anything that you’ll need to apologize for. 4. 5. Pull up. Sell the benefits of the work. 6. 7.

NASA: Climate Change May Flip 40% of Earth's Major Ecosystems This... By Climate Guest Contributor on December 26, 2011 at 1:00 pm "NASA: Climate Change May Flip 40% of Earth’s Major Ecosystems This Century" by Rolf Schuttenhelm, cross-posted from Bits of Science The results of studies that try to quantify the effects of climate change on biodiversity loss — which include damage to the micro scale level of subspecies and genetic variation — are perhaps most shocking. When, however, you focus on the response to climate change at the macro level, the ecosystem level, you get a better understanding of what is one of the major drivers of that biodiversity loss: forced migrations. According to the same study most of the land on Earth that is not currently desert or under an icecap will undergo at least a 30 percent change in vegetation cover. Ecological damage is the real climate problem It is not just species that have slowly evolved around specific climatic values, the same goes for ecosystems. Migrations will crisscross Most sensitive climate hotspots
