    This document provides guidance on using effective visual aids when presenting. It discusses types of visual aids like handouts, product samples, and PowerPoint slides. When designing visual aids, the key principles are to communicate the main point straight away, keep it short and simple, make it easy to understand and follow, and use an appealing layout. Organizing visual aids should follow the KISS principle of keeping it short and simple to grab attention, maintain interest, prompt a decision, and inspire action. Design considerations include tailoring the visual aid to the audience and keeping text concise with headlines, bullet points of no more than four items, and two lines of block text per slide. Fancy animations and strange color combinations should be avoided

    About the presentation but for the audience (Who? Why? What? Where? When? How long?)

    Design of visual aids

    The text should begin with a headline and should be short. Whole sentences can be used only when presenting scientific facts. If you use bullet points, you should use no more than 4 items on the same slide. Block text should not be more than two lines long.

    Do not use fancy animation

    Focus on information, not cuteness

    Use simple and effective fonts

    AVOID USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS

    Use font size that everyone can read

    Avoid strange combinations of colours

    Be generous with white space, use simple backgrounds

    In other words
    Do not trust computer program wizards, do it yourselves!

    Your homework
