SHOWING TEAMWORK


A strong visual becomes a
memory trigger so your audience
is more likely to remember your
presentation later.


Text-heavy slides can be
forgettable and hard to follow.
Strong visuals help your
audience retain key points.

Always look for a
dominant area in the
photo you’re using—so
your viewer knows
exactly where to look.


This photo lacks
a dominant area.


A good photo will guide the viewer’s
eyes to your main point.


Using photos with a shallow to medium
depth of field can draw the viewer’s eyes
where you want it to go.


Just remember this:
when selecting photos,
simplicity
is the best choice.
