Slide talks are much more effective and interesting if illustrative title slides are used. More speakers would use title slides if it were not for the time, talent and expense required for preparation. Too often, bureau personnel do not have the artistic skill, equipment or time required to develop effective illustrations, or there is not enough time to have the artwork photographed and film processed. In addition, one-time talks may not warrant the preparation of elaborate illustrations. A simple but effective slide-titling method involves use of a regular slide in combination with clear acetate on which is printed an appropriate caption. The main values of this technique are its ease, speed, low cost, camera or film processing are not required, slides can be used immediately and the title is added to enhance an illustrative slide rather than replace it.
