Illustrations in oral presentations: photographs

T. Walsh

Abstract

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but if only a hundred words are needed, that nine hundred extra words may obscure communication rather than enhance it, This is the point of Manning (1998), who warns authors of instructional texts not to be too quick to scan a photograph into a document to avoid the trouble of making a line sketch. The author looks at the pitfalls of including photographs in presentations.
