  • Abstract
    Aspects of communicating on an international level are discussed. Attention is given to presenting to an international, technical audience; using visuals for attention; making visuals simple but creative; using photographs to project reality; using graphs to depict statistics; and using visual chaining to link key points. It is concluded that the secret to international communication is to say it slowly, keep it simple, and draw a picture
