Chapter 11
Visual aids are used in oral presentations to help deliver the presentation clearly and simply. When done correctly, visual aids make all the difference; when done incorrectly it can ruin a presentation and confuse the audience. Visually rich presentations always contain three major elements on each page: (1) text, (2) graphics, and (3) space, and all three are very important. In my opinion, the most important visual aid is color. Correctly using color to portray the right mood is important. For example, you would use bright attractive colors on a flier advertising for a carnival or circus, and darker colors for a funeral program.

In business, professionals depend heavily on oral presentations to successfully do their work. Oral presentations are used for many different business purposes, and must be prepared carefully. The most important aspect in my opinion to an oral presentation is having an effective opening to hook the audience and get them engaged. If you lose the audience at the beginning of your presentation, you are going to have a hard time getting your message across to your audience. Team presentations also take a lot of work and careful planning. Team members must have successful flow and transitions in between speakers, and all members of the team need to remain attentive throughout the presentation. In the business world, oral communication is a daily skill everyone needs, and is particularly important in giving oral presentations.
This is my final blog entry for the semester. Here is a survey I have created. I am curious to see the classes overall view of the class. It will only take a minute.
