Part 2- What images are suitable for business Presentations?

Continuing on from yesterday's post - What visuals are appropriate for business presentations?

Line drawings and simple tables are appropriate. For example, if you need to show an audience a table of 3 columns and 3 rows, you can put it on a slide. I believe 3 rows and 3 columns is the most that you should put on a slide, otherwise it becomes too complex for easy comprehension.

To engage your audience, you can put up a visual with a vertical and horizontal line. They form 4 quadrants which you can use to ask questions such as "In which quadrant do you think your slides fall?" High content - low volume. Low content - low volume. Low content - high volume or High content - high volume. Then you can ask your audience in which quadrant they think slide shows should be, and why.

This simple quadrant is a fantastic way to engage your audience and invoke discussion, not necessarily to classify slide shows.
