Visual aids are a very crucial aspect in any successful presentation as they improve on the impact that the presentation will have. There are different types of visuals that I used in my project presentation ranging from pictures, videos, white boards, drawings and screenshots. I chose pictures since they are a very powerful but simple way of intensifying my potential of expression.
Pictures are able to speak at levels that are far much beyond the abilities of describing. Pictures will support my intended message by stimulating the brain of my audience in a more preferred visual motivation. By the use of pictures I hope to gain more attention from my audience and also a better understanding of my message. With pictures my manager and co workers are able to actually see the message/ goal of what we are doing.
Videos will help me to show visual information that is stimulating. Use of videos will support my message by bringing the sound, movement and pictures. I hope to get more attention by using videos and also better understanding of my message. White boards will help me explain my message in the sequence of routines or ideas. They will help me in clarifying my title and recording my key points as I do my introduction. I expect my audience to take accurate notes as they will not only be following my descriptions while speaking but also each stage as I indicate on the board. They will be able to write down and take notes on some key points and focus points on goals and furture stumbles that we encounter on billing.
I used drawings because they bring a better understanding of what it is that I am saying. Drawings are also exciting and they will capture the attention of the audience easily and faster and help them have a better understanding of the message. Screenshots will bring a real picture of any experiment taken and they will make the audience understand quickly as opposed to verbal explanation. I hope to achieve a quick and better understanding by the use of these two. With these drawings I will incorporate graphs and charts so they can see the outcome of our work.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

20. ADVANTAGES
1. Effectiveness
Person who is illiterate can
not be communicated using
written media. But graphs,
figures, pictures or chart can
be used to communicate
with such person.
21. 2. Importance
To make analytical and
technical subjects more clear
to the audience, visual
communication is second to
none.
e.g. An analysis of price of a
product and respective
demand can be explained in
22. 3. Less Time
Higher officials or
executives have less time to
go through details. They can
be more familiar if they are
communicated in terms of
visual communication.
23. 4. Prompt Decision
To make decision quickly,
top management relies on
various tables, graphs,
charts, figures and maps. So,
timely decision is possible if
visual communication is
there.
24. 5. Complementary
In many situation, visual
communication is used as a
complimentary tool to written
communication.
For example, analytical report,
technical report or feasibility
report are the best example
using written communication and
visual communication both.
25. Actually, visual matters or
subjects make a permanent
effect in the mind of an
audience. Therefore, visual
communication is widely
used for its added
advantages.
26. DISADVANTAGES
1. Problem of Presentation
All topics or subject matters can
not be presented through visual
communication.
Plan, policy, systems, rules,
order and recommendation of an
organization can not be
produced in terms of visual
communication.
27. 2. Brevity
A complete and detail
information can not be
displayed through such
communication. Therefore the
whole concept or idea may not
be understandable if
visual communication is used
extensively.
28. 3. Need for Efficiency
Drawing, graphs, charts or
symbols may not convey any
message to general people in
certain situation. Special
knowledge and efficiency are
required to deal with visual
communication.
29. 4. More Cost Involvement
To use graphs, pictures, charts,
drawing, cartoons and sketch
are not cheap. All these require
various tools and techniques
which are costly.
30. 5. Wrong Decision
Sometimes information
displayed in terms of graphs,
charts or table may be in wrong
order. Decision taken based on
such information may lead to
ineffective output or fruitless
result.
31. Limitations or disadvantages
of visual communication do not
hamper the use and
application of visual
communication if the usage of
visual communication is done
thoughtfully and therefore it is
used by side by side with other
communication.
32. PURPOSE OF VISUAL
INFORMATION
The primary purpose of
visual information is to
gain attention, create
meaning, and facilitate
retention.
34. The collision of the message is
not only written but it also
designs the message on it.
Design can be borrowed to
anyone because they can get
more ideas on how they will
perform their task or job. This
can help to analyze different
verbals. There are three
38. Visual design elements and
principles describe
fundamental ideas about
the practice of good visual
design.
39. The best designers sometimes
disregard the principles of
design. When they do so,
however, there is usually some
compensating merit attained at
the cost of the violation. Unless
you are certain of doing as well,
it is best to abide by the
principles.
40. Design elements are the
basic units of any visual
design which form its
structure and convey visual
messages.
41. 14 Types of Design and
Elements
THE HARMONY
The main goal of
having a graphic design.
42. LINE
Describes a shape or outline. It
can create texture and can be
thick or thin. Lines may be
actual, implied, vertical,

text, images and position
on it.
51. FORM
Form may be described as
any three-dimensional object.
Form can be measured, from
top to bottom (height), side to
side (width), and from back to
front (depth).
52.
53. COLOR
Determined by its hue (name
of color), intensity (purity of the
hue), and value (lightness or
darkness of hue). Color and
color combination can play a
large role in the design.
Use to design the elements to
54. It plays a major role in our
visual perception, as it
influences our reactions
about the world around us.
55.
56. VALUE
The degree of light and dark
in a design. It is the contrast
between black and white
and all the tones in between.
Value can be used with color
as well as black and white.
57.
58. TEXTURES
Meaning the way a surface
feels or is perceived to feel.
To attract the people and
have meaningful meaning.
