Use visual aids effectively from "summary" of 10 Days to More Confident Public Speaking by Princeton Language Institute,

Visual aids are an essential tool for enhancing your public speaking skills. They can help you convey your message more effectively and engage your audience on a deeper level. However, it is important to use visual aids in a way that enhances your presentation rather than distracts from it. When using visual aids, it is crucial to keep them simple and clear. Avoid cluttering your slides with too much information or complicated graphics. Instead, focus on using visuals that support and reinforce your key points. This will help keep your audience focused and engaged throughout your presentation. In addition to simplicity and clarity, it is important to consider the overall design of your visual aids. Make sure that your slides are visually appealing and easy to read. Use consistent fonts, colors, and layouts to create a cohesive and professional look. This will help you maintain the attention of your audience and make a positive impression. Another important aspect of using visual aids effectively is to ensure that they are relevant to your message. Choose visuals that directly relate to the content of your presentation and help clarify or illustrate your key points. Avoid using visual aids just for the sake of having them - each visual should serve a specific purpose and add value to your presentation. Incorporating transitions between your verbal presentation and your visual aids is also crucial. Use transition phrases to smoothly introduce and explain each visual aid, making sure that your audience understands how it relates to the topic at hand. This will help maintain the flow of your presentation and prevent any confusion or disconnection between your spoken words and your visuals. By following these guidelines and using visual aids effectively, you can significantly enhance the impact of your public speaking. Remember to keep your visuals simple, clear, and relevant, and use them to support and reinforce your key points. With the right approach, visual aids can be a powerful tool for engaging your audience and delivering a memorable presentation.
