module 25

Module 25 is all about Using Visuals. Visuals can be a great way to get and keep your audience’s attention through your whole presentation. There are many different ways to communicate with people and visuals are a way for people to see what you are talking about instead of just listening to the talk. Using visuals can help people understand your topic in a multitude of different ways.

I found out by reading this module that what kind of visuals is just as important as your topic. Choosing one type of visual over another can make or break your whole presentation. Tables should be used when you are using exact values. Pie charts should be used when comparing a group of ideas. Bar charts and line graphs can both be used when comparing two things.

I have always thought that by adding different colors to a visual would help the reader be able to differentiate between topics. The book says that you can use a few colors but they aren’t always useful. Sometimes simple is better because each part is important. When you add colors you create a sense that some aspects are more important than another. If you feel like one part is more important that only put that on your visual.
