III. Evaluating Visuals• Is it relevant?
• A visual aid needs to help the audience understand the point you are making in your presentation
• The audience needs to clearly understand why you are showing the visual. It needs to serve a real purpose.
• Is the message clear and easy to understand?
• The audience should be able to understand the message of the visual in a couple of seconds.
• Give them time to read and look at the visual before you start talking again.
• Is it attractive and easy to read?• The text should be typed, not handwritten• The font should be simple, dark, and large
enough to see• The visual should be clean• Don’t use too many colors• The content shouldn’t be too complex or
have too much information

V. Using Visuals• Beforehand, make sure:
– everyone can see– equipment works – you have a backup plan
• Show visual when you talk about it• Show visual for 5 seconds before
speaking• Introduce visual and tell or indicate
what’s important• Don’t talk to the screen• Remove visual when you are finished
