Useful in clarifying stats, showing distribution, comparisons, etc. Useful for items too large for a graph. You can combine photos with audio, or even show a video. Prepare them in advance, and practice with them. Avoid placing too many photos or text on one slide. Serif fonts are easiest to read- they have little feet. Sans serif is hard to read- they don"t have the feet. Avoid crazy fonts that are hard to read. Don"t display where it can"t be seen by everyone.
