    Three presentations which I felt could've been improved:

    Glue
    Presented by Tom Muller (Kleber)

    Talked about their work... but didn't really show too much of their recent stuff. I really wish he had spent more time explaining their workflow, processes, how they get inspiration, etc. rather than the aesthetics of old sites like tDR or Ninjatunes. The content management system for clients was really well done, but overall, the presentation could've been a lot more indepth.

    The Future by Design: Presented by Robert Peters

    The thing that bothered me about his presentation was not that he was controversial, nor the fact that he constantly showed quotes from famous individuals. It was how he just regurgitated stuff most people already knew (globalization, Iraq war, obesity, etc) instead of posing ideas on how we might alter our values with respect to design as well as becoming more socially conscious.

    Flattening:
    Presented by Dean di Simone

    Actually, I did enjoy their concepts and speech, but my gripe was how their slideshow (and hence, prepared presentation) was only like 40 mins and they basically had to muster something to do for the remaining 20 mins, which didn't really have a lot to do with the main subject that they were trying to convey. I found that unprofessional.
