Careful Selection of Material
• Printed material
• Overhead transparencies
• Slides
• Flip charts
• Writing boards
• Video tapes / discs
• Models
Quality• Purpose – help you and audience
• Limit content – simplicity wins– 6-8 words per line– 5-7 lines per slide
• Large type: bold / italics / underline for emphasis
• Pictures are worth 1,000 words• Do not copy text …it’s too small to read
Effective graphics should be simple and clear.
