THINKING AHEAD
My planned visual aids include the poster with easel, a website, PSA, possible PowerPoint presentation, graphic charts, a handout, and a mock up of a model. At this point I am not sure if I will create a physical model or a 3D model on the website. I may also include brochures from AIDS community resource centers. My handout will summarize the key points of the presentation and provide resources for additional information.
My space will be designed for visual impact using red and black. The poster will be to the side and forefront to catch the eye of a person walking by the space. I will creatively use my empty space on the table to support my presentation but will be careful not to allow it to become too cluttered.
To make my presentation memorable I will keep it simple and focused. I will state my goals and how I have achieved them. Graphic charts will be used to explain the prevalence of HIV/AIDS locally and globally and the economic impact. These charts will probably be on the website and may also be included in the handout. Then I will provide information on how my ideas and work can contribute to decreasing prevalence through education and earlier and more frequent testing. I will offer research in effective educational formats and new ideas for testing. In concluding I will restate the key three to four points and offer the person a handout.
Online research tips:
1. Write a story that you can quickly share with your audience. Keep it simple, concrete, credible, and emotional
2. Be totally mentally present and do not allow yourself to become distracted
3. Ask yourself why does it matter and what is your goal
4. What problems might you encounter and plan for them
5. When creating your total design stand back and look if you have aligned your design elements, used repetition, maximized the visualization, and wisely used empty spaces.
1. Speak with clarity, conviction, and impact
1. Be aware of your body language – control hands and arms, assume a positive stance
2. Besides presenting data the visual aids should stimulate and delight the audience. The visual aids should pull in the audience so that they are interested in listening to the presentation
3. Your voice should sound credible and convincing
1. Do not attempt to memorize all the material but know the material so well that you can do the presentation without the PowerPoint if needed. Use key words and phrases and include only the essential information so that you stay focused and keep the audience interested
2. Be careful not to jump around in your presentation trying to tell everything there is to know about the subject. Instead use the Use the K.I.S.S. principle (Keep It Simple Silly) when designing a presentation. Stick to three or four points about your topic

POSTER
To create my poster I found pictures off of photobucket and put them together using Photoshop. I changed the background color and some text. The theme color was red and black to represent AIDS. My overall goal was to show that ignorance is blinding and that is why I have the blindfolds on the people. I think the question "what will you do to help aids?" at the top makes the viewer want to get more involved and become a leader.
1. KEY POINTS:
- what is HIV
- how it can be transferred
- the effects on the body
2. AUDIO AND VISUAL:
- children laughing and playing
- some photos of what HIV/AIDS can do the body
- music in the background
- facts
3. I choose these two videos because it shows how far the world has come |
