the content of your presentation.
tone of voice - conscious decision of your tone of voice. humorous, serious, informal, informative.
presentations can be dry if they're linear. cover your work and work of other people that influence you.
experiences - it should be an experiential presentation - could be becoming independent, living away from parents or home town.
personality - it's really important your personality comes across, engaging otherwise it's going to be boring and dull. Don't try to evoke a style that isn't you. Let your personality come through in the presentation.
ambitions 
your learning journey - work of other designers, illustrators, exhibitions, film, music, documentary, anything that influences you.

your self branding

consistent /appropriate use of colour
use of a presentation template - consistency throughout the presentation that looks professional and you could be confident presenting in front of other people.
