In the seventh chapter of They Snooze You Lose by Lynell Burmark (2011), the author speaks on the importance of full color images that connect with the content you are trying to convey. Burmark (2011) discusses the positioning and size of photos.
Burmark’s (2011) photo with the Norman Vincent Peale quote struck me as one of those “I knew that” moments (p. 123). I’ve seen hundreds of images like this on the internet. Some funny, some inspirational. I’ve seen them on posters in classrooms. Why haven’t I seen them in my own presentations? It’s a bit like walking through the woods, looking around, and suddenly seeing a deer standing stock still ten feet from you, where a minute ago, you saw nothing but foliage. I can easily use images as a backdrop for my presentations. It will be something I work to do more of in the future. It’s also shocking how much difference the color makes, particularly on the velcro photo (Burmark, 2011, p. 115).
