clip art

Examples of clip art in the following topics:

• The Don'ts of Using Sensory Enhancements

  • Using Clip Art: An idea behind its time.
  • Clip Art used to be a great way of making a presentation visual—particularly when computers were less powerful and every presentation had be small enough to fit onto a floppy disk.
  • The problem now is that clip art looks very dated compared to a color photograph.
  • Long Video Clips: It can be helpful to add a video clip into a visual presentation, but be aware that an audience's attention will dwindle if the clip is too long.

• Dynamic Representations: Video and Multimedia

  • Many presentation programs come with pre-designed images (clip art) and/or have the ability to import graphic images.

• Slideshows

  • They are often used to provide dynamic imagery for museum presentations and installation art.
  • For example, users can add transitions, pan and zoom effects, video clips, background music, narrations, and captions.

• The Elements of a Slide

  • Audio/Video Clips: Download videos, images, and audio files directly into a slide for a presentation without first downloading to the computer.
  • PowerPoint editing for slide creating, animation, transitions and adding video and audio clips.

• Subjects of Informative Speeches

  • Incorporating famous pictures or clips from works is a way of increasing the audience's retention of the information about the particular person.

• Volume

  • Lavalier mics - These are attached by a small clip to the clothing of the speaker, usually to collars or ties.
  • The cord may be hidden by clothes and either run to a radio frequency transmitter or a digital audio recorder kept in a pocket or clipped to a belt (for mobile work), or directly to the mixer.

• Adapting to Handouts and Visuals

  • Make sure to transition smoothly into the video and to only show short clips.

• Successful Rehearsing Habits: Mimic Timing and Context

  • When rehearsing the time of the presentation you want to make sure to include all of the parts of the speech including quotes, examples, video clips and visual aids.

• Personification

  • As a form of hyperbole, we know these animals can't speak English, go on madcap adventures in Disney World or use martial arts to right crime.
  • In addition to being an artful form of speaking, personification can be used to more vividly make your point.

• Techniques for Accepting Criticism

  • There is an art to being truly effective with criticism; a critic can have good intentions but poor delivery, for example, "I don't know why my girlfriend keeps getting mad when I tell her to stop eating so many french fries; I'm just concerned about her weight!
