There is no presentation without visuals. Visuals help to deliver messages. Here I share with you few elements to strengthen your presentations by making a wise use of visuals. The slides are part of a course on Public Speaking, I just addedd few notes to help you to follow the thread and make sense of the whole slideshare. Glad for a feedback.
Presentations. Making good use of visuals.
- 1. Adding visuals make strong presentations
- 2. 3 PILLARS WILL HELP YOU TO STRENGTHEN YOUR VISUALS Clear structure Less is more (keep it simple) Wise use of images & objects
- 4. Our brain has load limitations Per slide: 1 concept 45 items max load
- 5. Traditional slides, with text and graphs, have proved to be less effective than slides with sparse text and more visuals. Ultimately, you want to help your audience to understand and remember you and your presentation.
- 9. Studies prove that audience retains better the last format than the first.
- 10. My next slide is much too crowded
- 11. Elaborate a Narrative Chronological. Themes are arranged in time sequence (history of a procedure). Spatial. Themes are arranged as they relate each other (big picture and then detail). Cause and effect. Themes flow from a problem (environmental issue and impact). Topical. Themes arranged in order of importance (outlining priorities for nature conservation). a Combination is possible. Telling storiesstories is very effective Jacopo Pasotti ETH 2009
- 12. The next slide is an improvement
- 13. Elaborate a Narrative Chronological history of a procedure Spatial big picture and then detail Cause and effect environmental issue and impact Topical outlining priorities for nature conservation
- 14. Wise use of images and objects Promptness Proportion Proximity Promotion Consider avoiding bulletpoints
- 15. Wise use of images and objects Promptness Thenextslideshowsyouawayto delivermessagesinashort,clear, effectiveway.Apromptmessage.
- 17. The next slide has an image (small) and (much too much) text
- 18. Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction Another mass extinction happened 65 million years ago Marked the end of the Mesozoic Era and the beginning of the Cenozoic Era All of the dinosaurs and half of the other animals & plants went extinct Scientists think an asteroid hit Earth, the dust clouds blocked out the sun, plants died, then herbivores, then carnivores.
- 19. The next slide is a quick improvement
- 20. Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction 65millions years ago All dinosaurs and half of other animals & plants went extinct
- 21. Wise use of images and objects Promptness Proportion
- 22. In my previous Narrative slide, I respected some proportions that respects prime elements in the composition (the text and a piano)
- 23. Elaborate a Narrative Chronological history of a procedure Spatial big picture and then detail Cause and effect environmental issue and impact Topical outlining priorities for nature conservation
- 24. Wise use of images and objects Promptness Proportion Proximity
- 25. Proximity means that our eyes build relations among object (also) based on their proximity.
- 26. The art and craft of Science Communication Guidelines to communicate your science by Jacopo Pasotti Promedia Agency www.jacopopasotti.com
- 27. There are two elements, in this slide, which are related to my address and reference. I will place them closer to each other and with more distance from the title and the figure, which is tied to the title.

- 29. Wise use of images and objects Promptness Proportion Proximity Promotion
- 30. I can use a mummys eye to promote a message
- 33. I want to show a trend, and a starting and ending point. I can spare my audience with all data in between.
- 34. Achieving Serious Impact Southern Africa Number of farmers benefiting from agroforestry 30,000 5 10 200 1,000 3,500 80,000 110,000 180,000 400,000 0 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008
- 35. Achieving Serious Impact 1988 1998 2008 400000 0 5 400000 Number of farmers in agroforestry
- 36. Colors help a lot to emphasize information. Colors must be used wisely. The next slide is confusing.
- 37. All material from Ed@clearpreso
- 38. The next slide is better.

- 40. Wise use of images and objects Promptness Proportion Proximity Promotion Consider avoiding bulletpoints
- 41. Bullet points Are Overused and abused Overwhelmingly filling up our slideshows Up to the point we are obviously getting sick Of them But still have them covering our slides As a sort of violent And contagious Bullet points Epidemic Are you absolutely sure you need them in your next slide?
