Planning a visual presentation
Most presentations use visual (pictures or body language) and verbal (words or dialogue) techniques to communicate a message to an audience. Every technique you choose must reinforce your main message. The message should be clear and have enough developed detail to hold the viewer’s interest. Use the following steps as a guide for the production process for any visual presentation:
- Choose a main idea or theme you want to focus on and brainstorm different ways to present or express this idea.
- Plan and develop your ideas by drawing quick sketches showing the layout and overall look.
- Think of visual features – how aspects such as colour, size, and shape work together.
- Choose your verbal features carefully – they must go with the visual aspect of the image and help to reinforce the main idea.
- Review your use of production features.
