Discussion Question 3


In the first speech buddy video Erin introduces sample digital slides and highlights design successes and failures. She begins by presenting the basic visual guidelines: Simple, Key ideas, show what you cant say, use close ups, Limit number of images, variety and coherence, and large lettering.  Erin states, “ When using digital slides or any digital media, your main goal is to show your audience what you cant say.” Next, she discusses the verity of tools available within software like, PowerPoint and Keynote, which a presenter can use. However, she dose caution to not over do with digital effect that might take away from the content being displayed.  It can be easy to overwhelm an audience with digital slide. For example, if the speaker includes too much information or present everything in his or her speech digitally, can cause confusion or disengagement from the speaker. These are some common pitfalls speakers fall victim to.
