6 Points to augment visual material’s impact in a flash-based presentation
Every element of a flash-based presentation has to be supporting each other. Texts, videos, images or animation, everything must be harmonized to highlight the core message of the presentation. And you can also pitch in your creativity to enhance the impact of your visual stuff. Again planning has to be perfect. There may be six points to increase the effect of visuals:
- Finalize visuals to covey your main message: If you have zeroed in on what your target-audience would require seeing to understand the basic message, then plan to insert visuals, images, animation or videos, accordingly to simplify the message.
- A careful use of visual support: Visuals are just a support, they are not the main stuff, they have to be used to carry the message clearly and easily. An excessive use of visuals is only going to confuse the audience.
- Harmonized with texts: A flash-based presentation is carried by a voice-over artist, so the visuals and his voice-content must be in a harmony to simplify the matter for the audience. Whatever he is speaking has to be complimented by visuals.
- No need to use every format of visuals: You don’t need to use every type of visual aid to augment the impact of your presentation. If only images help you hit the target-audience, you don’t need to insert videos or animations.
- A cautious use of animation: While an animation certainly increases the effect of a flash-based presentation, it has to be used sparingly. A deliberately used animation can mar the entire purpose immediately.
- Visuals should ingrain a rhythm: Every form of visuals used in your presentation must provide a flow to the entire scheme of things so that the audience receives the facts in an unbroken manner to get to know what they need from them swiftly.
Visuals are a powerful medium to convey the message to the audience, but if and if they are used cautiously and in a synchronized way.
