Vitally important. And the importance goes both ways: Excellent visuals can bring life to your presentation story, while poor visuals can take away from your story. Which choice do you make?<\/p>\n<p>The guiding principles when incorporating a slide into your presentation are that it must advance your discussion and clarify the concepts you are explaining; it must ideally add a <em>non-verbal<\/em> representation of an important concept; it must be crystal clear and easy to navigate <em>from the point of view of the audience member<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The language on each slide should be grammatically perfect. If you are a nonnative speaker of English and you are not sure about the grammar or punctuation, ask someone for help.<\/p>\n<p>It is a very important exercise when selecting and building slides to differentiate for yourself what you (the speaker) need to know from what the audience needs to know.<\/p>\n<p>You may feel, for example, that you have too many slides in your introductory section. Ask yourself: Who needs these slides, me (the presenter) or the audience members? Am I using these visuals to help myself remember the story &#8212; which is okay to a point &#8212; Or do I need to be more familiar with my material so that I can eliminate slides that are unnecessary?<\/p>\n<p>This thinking can be applied to the entire story: In general, which parts of the story can I tell without using bunches of slides?<\/p>\n<p>The audience should not have to work hard to understand our story and our visuals &#8211; &#8211; it is our job as presenters to work the hardest.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of excellent visuals &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_110\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110\" class=\"size-full wp-image-110\" title=\"Image 3\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image-3.jpg\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-3.jpg 1338w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From a talk entitled &#8220;Sketch Recognition&#8221; by Computer Science PhD student Jeffrey Browne, UC Santa Barbara.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_98\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98\" class=\" wp-image-98 \" title=\"Image\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image.jpg?w=300\" height=\"554\" width=\"600\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-98\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From a talk entitled &#8220;Catch Me If You Can: Visibility-Based Pursuit and Capture in\u00a0Polygonal Environments with Obstacles&#8221; by Kyle Klein, PhD student in Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_108\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image-21.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-108\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108\" title=\"Image 2\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image-21.jpg\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From a recent talk by Jonathan Valamehr, PhD student in Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image-37.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-125\" title=\"Image 37\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image-37.jpg\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-37-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-37-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-37-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-37-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-37-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-37-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/riggscreative.com\/clients\/dev1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/image-37.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image-36.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-126\" title=\"Image 36\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/janetkayfetz.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/image-36.jpg\" height=\"375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How important are the visuals in a presentation?
