VISUALS
CHECK YOUR VISUAL BEFORE YOU USE IT.
1. Visibility - Is it easy to see and read from where
participants sit?
2. Simple Is the message easy to understand?
3. Interest - Does it attract and hold attention or is it
cluttered with too many words or pictures?
4. Useful - Are the letters, words, pictures, etc.
suitable for the subject and audience?
5. Structure - Are the ideas grouped in sequential order?
6. Information - Is it factual and is the data current?
POSTERS AND CHARTS

COMPUTER GENERATED VISUALS
There are several key elements that can be a
part of any computer generated visual. You will
have many options for text, color, background,
graphics, transitions, animations or sounds. How
you use these elements will make the difference
between an effective presentation and one that's
distracting and hard to understand. As much
fun as it is to try all of these elements using too
many in one presentation can be distracting.
Well-prepared and skillfully used posters and charts help the audience understand more completely,
learn faster, and remember longer.
• When using posters and charts remember to:
keep them simple
-
make them readable
place them where they are easily seen
•
select visuals carefully to fit the presentation.
Use charts and posters only if they "add to" the presentation "and make it" more effective.
Use charts to:
serve as a guide to the member
-
add interest to the title, topic and ideas
presented
focus and hold the audience's attention
emphasize key points
clarify a complicated process or procedure
show comparisons
summarize main thoughts.
introduce a subject
Present the main points
give instructions
Number the backs of posters for easy identification and placing them in order. For ease of changing
posters, put posters in reverse order on the easel. Move posters from the back to the front. For ex-
ample, arrange posters: Title poster, Poster 6, Poster 5 and so on. When you are finished with your
title poster move Poster one from the back of the posters to place on top of the Title Poster.
Skill in using charts must be developed. When pointing out something use the hand closest to the
poster or chart. Show visual only when you are talking about that idea.
When using flannel graphs, flash cards, slides, pictures, drawings, chalkboards, models, etc., be
sure they are neat, clean, in good condition, and can be clearly seen.
You do not have to be an artist to have neat, readable charts and posters. Charts should be eye
catching but not elaborate, and limited to one idea.
