Public Speaking - Creative Visuals the Old-School
Way
Before speakers used PowerPoint,
there were overhead projectors,
flip charts, handouts and white
boards. Before that, there were
slide projectors and movie
projectors. Sometimes people
used props.
Before that, there
were chalkboards and before
that, well, there were just
speakers! And believe it or not,
speakers were plenty effective,
even without visuals.
There’s no doubt that visuals
provide additional benefits to a
presentation. According to
“Public Speaking: An
Audience-Centered Approach” by
Steven A. Beebe and Susan J.
Beebe, presentation aids
“enhance understanding,”
“enhance memory,” “help
listeners organize ideas,” “help
gain and maintain attention,”
and “help illustrate a sequence
of events or procedures.”
Read on for tips on effective
and creative visual aids the
low-tech, old-fashioned way.

Designing Effective Slides Using PowerPoint
Used wisely, PowerPoint® and
similar programs can be an effective tool to help audiences remember your
message, while allowing you to prove, reinforce, and support your claims.
Used unwisely, PowerPoint becomes a
distraction that upstages the presenter and buries the message. With its
tumbling, whooshing, flying, singing and screeching graphics, PowerPoint can
take on a life of its own.
All these bells and whistles can
disconnect the slides from the presenter and destroy the reason for using them
in the first place--to provide an audience with at-a-glance comprehension to
support the presentation.

11 Tips for Using Flip Charts More
Effectively
While everyone seems to be interested in
creating high-tech computer generated
presentations, the flip chart still
continues to be the most effective
presentation media of all. One should
not assume that investing a lot of money
in high tech visual aids & equipment
will "make" your presentation. The best
visuals have been and still are the
simplest. Remember, the purpose of using
visual aids is to enhance your
presentation, not upstage it.
Since most presentations are delivered
before small groups of 35 people or
less, the flip chart is the perfect
size. I feel the flip chart will
continue to be the workhorse of most
training seminars.
There are several advantages of using a
flip chart. Here are just a few:

Using humor images and cartoons in
presentations
Have you talked in front of many
people? Have you wondered what
to do in order to get your ideas
across?
Any public speaker who has faced
a crowd of listeners knows that
humor has a great effect and
brings out a point like nothing
else. I have talked to many
presenters and all of them say
they have a number of jokes up
their sleeve, as well as visual
gags -- CARTOONS.
