Good
visuals can enhance a presentation tremendously.� The 4 main things to
remember when designing visuals for a presentation are to only have a few,
use big text, keep the message simple, and make the presentation as
memorable as possible.�� Also keep in mind when
designing presentation visuals that contain primarily text and tables, use
the 6 X 6 rule of no more than 6 lines and 6 words per line.� For more
details on how 6 X 6 could work for visuals, please see the article below.
How to Use the Rule of Six for Designing Presentation Slides
The above
article will also mention the 6 X 6 rule for charts of no more than 6 data
points per graph.� Charts work better than tables or text because they
are more visual and can be understood faster than a list of numbers.�
For detail on what types of charts/graphs to use to emphasize different
types of data, also see� the article on charts.
