VISUAL aid in Report Writing
Visual aids are an important tool because different people respond to different learning modalities. Visual aids also add interest to a discussion. In order to effectively use visual aids, one must learn from experience what will and won't work for an audience or group of students. Visual aids can take many forms and be presented in many formats.
A visual aid is an object or representation that may be used to clarify or enhance understanding of a concept or process. Visual aids may take the form of graphs, charts, tables or photographs pertaining to the information being presented.
Visuals make just about anything more interesting. It is also a great way to reiterate your points. Visual aids can improve the professional quality and readability of business documents.
A few reasons for using graphics :
1. Visuals arouse reader immediate interest. Because many readers are visually oriented, visuals unlock doors of meaning. Readers who place great emphasis on visual thinking will pay special attention to the visuals. Visuals catch the reader’s eye quickly by setting important information apart and by giving them relief from looking at sentences and paragraphs. Because of their size, shape, color and arrangement, visuals are dramatic and maintain reader interest.
2. Visuals increase reader understanding by simplifying concepts. A visual shows ideas whereas a verbal description only tells them. Visuals are especially important and helpful if you have to explain a technical process to a nonspecialist audience. Moreover, visuals can simplify densely packed statistical data, making a complex set of numbers easier to comprehend. Visuals help readers see percentages, trends, comparisons and contrasts.
3. Visuals are especially important for non-native English speaking and multicultural audiences. Visuals speak a universal language
