Section 5 - Images

Images can be an excellent way to illustrate a point or to compliment an idea. However, too many can overpower the text and make your presentation difficult to follow. If you decide to use pictures in your presentation, make sure that they do not lose any resolution when projected on a large screen. Also, try to limit the file size of your graphics. The larger the picture’s file size, the longer it takes for it to load on a presentation. Waiting for a picture to load interrupts the rhythm of your delivery and makes the audience restless.

Clip art can be a quick fix for a dull slide, but make sure that the clip art makes sense with the points you are making. Also, be sure that your resize and recolor choices do not clash with the overall layout and color scheme of the presentation.
