This presentation was for the 2017 BC Studies Conference in Nanaimo BC. The presentation called for a straight forward power point design with multiple custom graphics. The presentation also featured a demo Augmented Reality App built in Unity.
This power point design was for a presentation at the 2015 BC Studies Conference in Richmond BC. The deck needed to be modern and eye catching. The topic is not well known and images to support the presentation were not plentiful. The dark design was meant to make the presentation more intimate and reflect much of the Northwest Coast Indigenous art.
Aboriginal engagement and employment are core values of the KDL Group of companies. The presentation introduces workplace managers to the history and culture of the Carrier and Sekani People. The presentation was designed with a modern theme to help break the stereotype of Aboriginal people being “freeze dried” into a traditional past. The traditional culture of the Carrier and Sekani are important expressions of their unique identity, but this is not the same as being “stuck in the past.”
