 Miscellaneous Visual Aids:

o Pictograms or pictographs: these charts use symbols to help the reader
visualize the product/service
o Map charts: use symbols to represent quantities
o Photographs: are useful to show plant sites, actual products, etc.
o Exploded drawings and cutaways: these provide an in-depth view of a
product or a piece of equipment
o Flowcharts: as the systems approach becomes more popular, work
activities and relationships may be illustrated by means of flowcharts
o Organizational charts: these show the relationships among personnel
within an organization
 Visuals for Oral Presentation:
o Chalkboard or whiteboard – both are easily erasable.
o Flip charts are large sheets of newsprint supported on an easel. Flip charts
are used easily when it is impossible or undesirable to turn out the room
lights.
o Transparencies are sheets of acetate that are projected onto a screen by
means of an overhead projector. They have similar advantages to flip
charts (that is, if the room lights need not be dimmed).
o Slides may be used in large auditoriums to highlight main ideas.
Unfortunately, room lights must be dimmed for proper viewing.
 The Key to Using Graphics: ask yourself if they will truly supplement, explain,
complement, or emphasize the information you are presenting. If the answer is
yes, use them.
