Sometimes, the best way to explain an emotion or a concept is a good image.
Here is a fantastic tribute to Polaroid. Pure genius. It is from Phil Jones, a designer from Minneapolis. He was inspired by this article about the slow death of Polaroid.

Words are strong. Images are stronger.
The next time that you prepare a speech, look at your slide. There will probably be too much text. Reduce it and replace with strong picture. You will have a better emotional connection with the audience.

Hi Denis.
Nice post.
I like starting a presentation with an image.I choose an image which is good and relates strongly to the objective of the presentation. I start with that image. Putting it up on the very first slide.
Then I ask the audience what they think it is. It makes for a ‘light’ start and a lot of interaction. Then I reveal whats the agenda for the day and how this images links to that.
The image then becomes a good launch pad which propels the presentations towards the final goal. I have found it pretty useful.

There’s no better feeling than finding that perfect image to explain your idea. Once you integrate it into a slide, you feel like you’ve created a masterpiece!
