Spending time early on visual aids is important because preparing these aids consumes much time. For instance to craft a set of presentation slides you need time for gathering the images and formatting the graphs. Then there is the time to design each slide. Then you need time to organize and format those slides so that as a set they reflect the talk s organization. In doing so you will have a title slide perhaps a background slide a memorable mapping slide slides for each of the talk s main divisions and a conclusion slide. Yet more time is needed for you to rehearse with those slides so that you can make the appropriate transitions. Finally if you are to give a version of those slides as handouts time is needed for creating that handout version printing it and then photocopying it. When the presentation is collaborative even more time is needed to prepare a set of presentation slides because each speaker should have the chance to comment on a draft of those slides. Ideally in a collaborative presentation one person should have the task of creating the slides. That scheme makes it easier for the group to obtain both a consistent slide format and a set of slides that reveals the presentation s organization. To prepare a film time is needed to prepare the film either through photography or through computer simulation. Then you have either to incorporate the film into a computer projection or to prepare a videotape of the film that can be shown. As with the slides you should allot time for practicing. To prepare demonstrations a similar schedule is needed design construction and practice. For visual aids one additional step is needed development of a backup plan in case Murphy s Law reigns.
