Describe several communication techniques and explain their appropriate application
Visual Communication. :- This method is fairly common, using diagrams, leaflets, pictures or videos to explain the situation/idea. Usually problematic for people with weak vision, things like small fonts and bad colouring can make things difficult, though this is one of the most used methods.
Audio Communication. :- As expected, this involved a lot more talking, whether it's across country via telephone, or international by a skype conference, relaying information and ideas would fall short without verbal communication on both parts.

Social Networking :- In this day and age getting in touch with a person(s) is as easy as tapping a screen, being able to e-mail, text, or group converse with single people, or entire groups at once, make settling on ideas and sending thoughts to others as fast as your ability to think of it.

Compare a range of techniques used for influencing and persuading others and their application
To put use to these methods of communication, you first need an idea of what it is you are to communicate. For example, if I was to host a venue for a concert, first I would review work similar that others have done, take a rough estimate of the pricing, what facilities/staff would be required, and write it all down. These notes combined with pictures, possible locations, and themes regarding the venue that would attract a target audience would be put forward as a brief notion.

From their, networking with those eager to be involved, sending out information via social means and electronically would be vital, really pushing the word and being enthusiastic about the venue to bring new people in. If I was pitching this idea to my employer, I would do my best to show them the reasons it could work, and what would be gained, be it income, reputation, or recruitment.
Describe how to give and receive constructive feedback
Using the previous example of the concert venue, there will come a time when mistakes are made, or improvements can be made. Feedback is a necessity, and should be approached productively. Instead of a method to scold, it's easier to encourage people to see things differently, and while giving feed back is important, it's just as critical to take it well and improve on what was made aware i.e, if the facilities lack acoustics/ lighting, finding another place would be suitable, or if the venue required special needs facilities, but lacked them.
Describe methods used to communicate technical and specialist issues within and across teams
The use of all these extra methods of communication brings new usage for specialists covering technical issues, with the addition of the Internet, its easy to talk to people who know how to use complicated tools like HTML, java, sound program software, and a wider range of specialisation across many industries. This makes creating, editing, sharing, and solving issues much faster, and much more efficient.
Select and justify appropriate presentation techniques for a specific creative idea
For our presentation, we agreed upon the production of a summer concert/open band session. To do this we gathered the information we would require to do so, and compiled it into short segments on each slide. We made sure that it was easy to read, and the font was large enough to be read, we also included hand outs, a designed poster for the event, as well as some financial data regarding costs.
Present own creative ideas on a one-to-one basis; in a small group; to a large group
As a team the four of us worked out what it would take to run and produce a summer concert, each of us handled various portions of the task, I my self was in charge of band information, opening the presentation, the cleaning down of the area, as well as closing the actual presentation.
I opened the presentation with a small brief about the production and our ideas, explaining the main plans for the venue and where it will take place.
I moved on to the talent we have selected, describing the genre and giving some back ground to the style of performance we wished to give.
From there Lewis instructed out marketing scheme, detailing how we would use the likes of social media, radio, and possibly even television to advertise our event.
Adam followed up with the finances and costs to pull it all together, everything from hiring the grounds to paying for the entertainment.

Describe examples of effective presentation techniques
Making the presentation easy to digest and quick to get through is the first key of presenting successfully, as it gives all information quickly and efficiently, without people getting lost and having to double back on the presentation to catch up. Of course on a visual element, neutral colours, neither to bright or to dark, to be better read and understood. Having a hand out with more detailed information is always a good idea, making sure people fully understand, and have additional information to digest in their spare time.

You gave a great presentation and I think a very effective one. You tried to keep it light and entertaining but got all the information. There is alway room for improvement and on this occasion I think the only thing you didn't have were hand outs. Hand out are a good idea to give people take away information such as email and web addresses along with useful telephone contact numbers etc. It's important to remember to keep handouts short and to the point as well as making sure they have the desired effect which might be different for each project. The whole presentation might have been geared towards getting people to visit the website to get more information and also find out more about not only the project but the organization you work for as well.
