• Listeners will be more engaged if you tailor your sensory enhancements to the

audience and add value with pictures, graphs, and other visually appealing items.

• Sensory enhancements improve comprehension through the process of

repeating the information both visually and audibly.

• The repetition of information through a sensory enhancement and in your speech

will help the audience remember your presentation.

• Visual aids should support, clarify, and amplify, not repeat what you are saying. In

order to make sure that the intent of your visual aid is clear try to use only

important or memorable words or phrases.

• It is important to consider if your visual can be seen and understood by the

member of your audience who is farthest from the screen when choosing to use

it. In order to do this test out your visual aids in different environments.

• Visual Communication relies on vision, and is primarily presented or expressed

with two dimensional images. A visual message accompanying text has a greater

power to inform, educate, or persuade a person or audience.

Choosing the Right Visual Aid

https://www.boundless.com/image/--335

• In preparing your visual aids, you should consider three important

components: Are your visual aids appropriate for your audience? Are your visual

aids easy to understand and easy to read or view? Do you know what is on your

visual aids and can you present them effectively?

• When creating a visual aid, make sure to consider the knowledge base,

demographic background, occupation, and values of your audience.

• Be sure to use text that is large enough (size 16 point font is a suggested

minimum) and colors that do not conflict with one another. This ensures that

words are legible.

• An essential component of using visual aids effectively is to prepare yourself in

understanding what is on them and determining how you want to explain them.

• Choosing the appropriate object for a presentation depends on the speaker’s

preference, as well as the content and setting of the presentation.

• Ultimately, objects should enhance rather than detract from a presentation.

• Using physical objects is often necessary when demonstrating how to do

something so that the audience can fully understand the procedure or process.

• While chalkboards are typically used in academic settings, universities and

organizations employ dry boards for presentations and record-keeping.

• Chalkboards, dry boards, and flipcharts allow for fast, simple and easy use by

presenters who may not be familiar or comfortable with presentation software

tools.

• Transparencies are used across a wide variety of organizations, allowing for easy

note-taking and steady eye contact during presentations.

• Despite its heavy use in academia, transparencies are quickly becoming

outdated and being replaced by computer-based presentation tools.

• Static imagery can either serve as a useful visual tool to further emphasize or

support a speaker’s point, or confuse audiences and detract from the speaker's

message.

• Photographs, maps, and handouts are all examples of visual aids that employ

static imagery.

• Bar graphs, line graphs, and other types of graphs are used in both static and

electronic presentations to visualize relationships between different quantities.

• Drawings or diagrams can be used when photographs do not show exactly what

the speaker wants to show or explain.

• Presenters may use navigation devices such as text links, picture thumbnails, or

miniature screenshots to move around spontaneously within and between large

collections of interconnected content.

• Although studies have revealed that audiences are more engaged during

presentations that employ dynamic elements, there have been no assessments

as to whether using multimedia improves learning and retention of presentation

material.

• Multimedia such as video enhances the experience of the audience member, and

can help presenters convey information more easily and quickly than static

presentations.

• Integrating multimedia with online applications and hardware elements can ease

the job of presenters by adding emphasis and bringing attention to specific points

in the presentation.

• Presentation software is most commonly used for instructional purposes, usually

with the intention of creating a dynamic, audiovisual presentation.

• Before the introduction of motion pictures and computer software, slides originally

were projected onto a theater screen via magic lanterns.

• In addition to business presentations, slideshows are used to provide

dynamicimagery for museum presentations and installation art, and for saving

personal memories as digital photo albums.

• During your presentation, your audience will see you and your visual aids.

• It is important to pay attention to the quality of the text as well as what is actually

said.

• Learners are attracted to colors and may find programs without color to be

boring.

• Video is a great attention grabber but may distract the audience from more

important information.

• According to research carried out at UCLA, a visual presentation is five times

more likely to be remembered after three days than a presentation using bullet

points.

• When using objects in a presentation, set aside time for the audience to examine

the object so it doesn't detract from the speech.

• If using audio to enhance a speech, make sure it is loud enough to be heard

without distracting the audience.

• Be careful with scents in a presentation, so as not to offend or distract the

audience.

• A presentation with sensory enhancements should be practiced, so you can

make sure that any problems are rectified ahead of time.

• Do not write your entire presentation on your PowerPoint. Rather, use bullets and

sub-bullets to break up the text into manageable, easy-to-read chunks.

• Be consistent with your color themes.

• Use at least 18-point font for main points and smaller font sizes for sub-points.

• Use a font color that is readable and stands out against the background.

• One of the disadvantages of using color is that individuals who are colorblind may

miss out on some information in certain colors.

• Do not "waste" information by using unnecessary colors.

• It may also be useful to apply some color psychology when choosing which

colors to use.

• Presentation aids must be accessible for every audience member. Graphic

elements in your presentation aids must be large enough to read.

• You should be able to carry your presentation aids into the room by yourself. In

addition, you should be skilled in using the presentation equipment.

• The design of your presentation should not detract from the content of your

speech.

• Consider whether you can understand if each visual aid is addressing and

furthering the key point of your presentation.

• Visual aids are useful to help the audience better understand your topic if they

are used as a supplement to your presentation.

• If your visual aid has inconsistencies in color scheme or theme, the audience

may become confused since color change may indicate a change in topic.

• Avoiding small font is essential to making sure that the audience can read your

visual aids. A general standard is to make sure that all PowerPoint slides are at

least 18-point font to ensure that audience members in the back row will be able

to read your presentation.

• Try to keep the amount of information on each slide to a minimum and use only

what is necessary to convey the key point of the visual aid or slide.

• Avoid distracting animation and noises. These will take the focus of the audience

away from your presentation and shift it toward the noise or animation instead.

• PowerPoint is regarded as the most useful, accessible way to create and present

visual aids; others believe it has its own mind-set which forces presenters to

spend countless hours thinking in PowerPoint and developing slides.

• Advantage—easy to create colorful, attractive designs using the

standardtemplates and themes; easy to modify compared to other visual aids,

such ascharts, and easy to drag and drop slides to re-order presentation.

• Advantage—easy to present and maintain eye contact with a large audienceby

simply advancing the slides with a keystroke, eliminating the need forhandouts to

follow the message.

• Disadvantage—speakers create slides so they have something to presentrather

than outlining, organizing, and focusing on their message.

• Disadvantage—the linear nature of PowerPoint slides forces the presenterto

reduce complex subjects to a set of bullet items which are too weak tosupport

decision-making or show the complexity of an issue.

• Disadvantage—basic equipment required to present. You will need to have a

computer andprojection equipment in place to display the slides to the audience.

• PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides," with

individual slides containing text, graphics, sound, video, or other objects that can

be arranged by the presenter.

• A PowerPoint presentation can be automatically controlled by pre-programming

transitions from one slide to another, or manually controlled by a user.

• Supporters of PowerPoint say the presentation software is easy to use and can

save a lot of time for by replacing the need for a variety of different visual aids.

• Some opponents of PowerPoint argue that the program encourages the

reduction of complex ideas into simplified points, while others contend that the

program encourages overstuffing presentations with too much information, both

of which negatively effect the audience's experience.

• The most basic element of a PowerPoint presentation is the slide.

• Slides are comprised of a combination of textual and visual elements.

• Text may be organized as captions, paragraphs, or bulleted points.

• Add graphics such as shapes, pictures stored on your computer, pictures

retrieved online, and charts or tables from other programs such as Excel.

• To add video clips, search for them from within the PowerPoint platform using

Bing, Flickr, and Youtube, and import them directly into a slide.

• The blank template provides an initial format that allows a user to clearly

distinguish main points from subpoints and supporting material.

• In the body of a slide, use keywords and phrases instead of sentences as listed

bullet items to help the audience skim the slide and see relationships between

main and sub-points.

• Insert and re-size visuals such as WordArt, shapes, charts, graphs, images, or

pictures from your own computer or from the internet, into a slide to provide

support for claims.

• Audio and video clips of a high quality not only clarify or provide support an idea,

but also improve the quality of a presentation. Avoid videos with low resolution or

poor quality audio clips, as they may affect audience perception.

• When using effects to transition from one slide to another, avoid slow moving or

fancy effects such as crawl in, swivel and spiral. Don’t overuse special effects

and keep transition choices consistent.

Formatting Tips


www.boundless.com/communications/preparing-and-using-visual-aids/using-powerpoint-and-alternatives-successfully/formatting-tips



https://www.boundless.com/communications/preparing-and-using-visual-aids/using-powerpoint-and-alternatives-successfully/formatting-tips


• Rehearse the show to see what it will really look like when it is presented to an

audience; try controlling the movement from one slide to next or preprogramming

the amount of time for each slide to appear on the screen.

• The content of the slides serves as a guide or outline for you and the audience,

so you want to make sure you talk about each slide, not read the content to the

audience who can read what is projected.

• Presenter View allows you to see your notes on your monitor while the audience

only sees the slide. While you move from one slide to the next you can also zoom

in on a particular part of the slide or use a pen or laser pointer to call attention to

specific details.

• Relational presentation practitioners structure small message units that are rather

self-contained and can be pulled together as the speaker interacts with the

audience.
