Abstract:	Audience engagement and expansion due to graphics are recognised by authors and educators, but the design and manufacture of elements often prove challenging. Establish a theme that weaves all the elements of the graphic together and be mindful of the theme when designing smaller elements. For example, if the focus of a presentation slide is a photograph, then it should be the sole element on the slide as it is the I only i element that can occupy a reader's mind. HIERARCHY Hierarchy is a method of demonstrating the relative importance of visual elements, commonly employing variations in element size (Figure 1).5 Large elements, or a larger element amongst a group of smaller ones, draw attention to critical information without the use of overbearing typography.
