Videos
Videos are not the cheapest type of visual content, but they are extremely effective. What does make
people “enjoy” videos?

Suspense, instantaneousness, and FOMO run the show when it comes to live videos. Also, videos evoke
stimuli such as self-identification, passion, and connectedness with what happens on the screen. It’s
easier for us to become emotionally attached to something we watch rather than read.

You are welcome to consider various types of videos: testimonials, animated explainers, how-tos – they
all will enhance your presentation if they are of high quality and reinforce your point.

Presentations
As well as infographics, presentations focus on design to draw readers into your texts. But unlike
infographics, they can have a greater scope and include tons of information to share with the audience.

Tips to turn content into presentation masterpiece:
• Be consistent with fonts and colors.
• Keep your sources reputable.

Summary

why it’s important to understand the psychology of visuals to have an impact student retention.
