Increasingly, effective business communication will rely on visual presentations — diagrams, graphs, maps, photographs, animation, videos, replicas. Studies have shown that visuals boost audience retention and learning, heighten interest and enjoyment, and significantly influence meeting outcomes. Why? A picture or symbol conveys a whole idea, while spoken or printed words break an idea into pieces. Moreover, since half the brain consists of a powerful vision computer system, the mind processes visual information more efficiently. Consequently, well designed visual presentations enable viewers to assimilate masses of data quickly and better understand complex relationships (From Kupsh, Joyce, and Pat R. Graves "Create High Impact Business Presentations").
