The 9th Power of WOW: Consider Visual Aid Options
When doing a presentation you have to consider your visual aid options. These can all have a great influence on your presentation and your wow-effect. Here are the primary advantages and disadvantages of most common visual aids.
Flip charts
Advantages
The simplicity eliminates the possibility of mechanical problems. Requires only an easel, which is available in most settings. Using a marker, you can draw or write on the pages during the presentation and make it interactive. A darkened room is not required.
Disadvantages
Creating images is time-consuming as visuals must be drawn on paper, or drawn and mounted on boards. Too small to be effective with a large audience.
Slides
Advantages
Excellent for photographic images and other art. It’s now easy to make attractive slides of charts, graphs and other material on a computer. The slide projector is portable enough to travel.
Disadvantages
Slides require a longer lead time for production and are not intimate enough for small conference rooms or office settings.
Advantages
Presentations can be easily written, revised, and personalized to each audience as you travel. By allowing the use of sound and movement you can make your visuals alive and dynamic.
Disadvantages
Requires computer knowledge and experience.
