WHY VISUALS MATTER Studies show that 35% of an audience’s retention rate is attributed to visuals, so use these best practices. Use high-quality images Avoid stock photos that feel overused. Use animated images sparingly. Motion should enhance, not distract. Leverage infographics Present complex data in an easy-to-digest format. Keep text minimal Slides should support your speech, not replace it. Use brand colors Maintain consistency in fonts and color palettes for professionalism.
