How to Cook
Computer Vision
Computer Vision
about
A presentation and talk in English, designed to introduce the audience to the fundamentals of computer vision. The deck was styled like a cookbook – a metaphor that runs through the entire talk and helps make a complex topic feel approachable.
Project specifics
There’s a reason we say "show the kitchen" when we talk about revealing the inner workings of a topic or process. In this case, that linguistic metaphor became a visual one. Some designers working on a presentation focus on visuals alone. That’s almost never the case with me – I usually handle the copy even in client presentations. And with my own talks, it’s an absolute given.
talk content
I know English well enough to use idiomatic expressions deliberately and play with words and meaning. I’m not a native speaker – but it’s important to me to preserve my linguistic identity and sound on the same level as I do in Russian: layered, articulate, and maybe a bit complex
Styling
A Victorian‑era design aesthetic naturally demands close attention to typography. I often bring up examples from that period whenever someone insists that you should never use more than two typefaces in a design – or other similar

the core idea
The goal of the talk was to debunk common myths about computer vision – that computers see the way humans do, that they never make mistakes, that they work well in any conditions, and so on – and to explain, in the most accessible way possible, how it actually works
Process
- 01Defined the overall talk
concept - 02Developed the script and translated it into English
- 03Designed the presentation, timed the delivery to fit the schedule
The presentation turned out light, ironic, and engaging – holding the audience's attention and reinforcing the impact of the talk.
