Graphics

• Present information graphically

• Is there a graphical way to present the information?
• If presented graphically, the audience will be more likely to understand information in the short period of time that it is on the screen.

• Clip art or scanned art can be useful in illustrating a point

• Do not use art for the sake of art.
• Art should serve a direct purpose or function.

• Graphic devises are helpful in separating elements or directing attention

• Borders, boxes, shadows, lines, arrows, symbols, and blank spaces are helpful in separating elements or directing attention.

• Graphics need to be fairly big and bold to stand out and to be seen

• Thin lines and small graphics may be more distracting than helpful.
