If the only image which pops in your head is a black-and-white drawing in a comics-style with a clever (or not so clever) punchline casually thrown in between two slides, you&#8217;ll be right. \u0410nd wrong.<\/p>\n<h3>In reality, cartoons in presentations are quite many types. Not necessarily comical. Not necessarily with a caption.<\/h3>\n<p>Moreover, each type of cartoon in presentations serves a different purpose. While some cartoons may indeed look like humorously illustrated concepts with a few lines of text, this doesn&#8217;t apply to all. Recognizing different types of cartoons and knowing how to use them in your presentation is a prerequisite for your success as a presenter. Here are the most common types of illustrations\u00a0 and cartoons used in presentations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Icons and design elements<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now may the moment you&#8217;ve realized you have been using cartoons all this time! Every design element which requires drawing\u00a0can be classified as an illustration. And every illustration can be drawn in a cartoon style. Here is an example of such icons and elements made in a cartoon style.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20100\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20100\" class=\"wp-image-20100 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/16143735\/cartoon-icons-in-presentations.jpg\" alt=\"cartoon icons in presentations\" width=\"826\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/16143735\/cartoon-icons-in-presentations.jpg 826w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/16143735\/cartoon-icons-in-presentations-300x102.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/16143735\/cartoon-icons-in-presentations-768x261.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/16143735\/cartoon-icons-in-presentations-80x27.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20100\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Icons in a cartoon style.

They can easily be adapted to your style of presentation. There are 3D, 2D, black and white, outline, realistic, etc. Not to mention that almost any object can be turned into a cartoon character.

This is easily achieved by making a joke after which the audience&#8217;s attention is back on the screen. The generalized belief that cartoons in presentations are actually cartoon puns (drawings with text) derives from this specific function of cartoons. The important thing you need to remember is to make sure the joke is related to the subject, inoffensive, and understandable to anyone in your audience, especially if there are non-natives among the viewers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19672\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19672\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19672\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/15094554\/business-strategy-drawing1.jpg\" alt=\"cartoon presentation: business strategy drawing\" width=\"250\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/15094554\/business-strategy-drawing1.jpg 250w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/15094554\/business-strategy-drawing1-80x65.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/graphicmama.com\/design-bundle\/vector-business-graphics-mega-bundle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business vector pack<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The third role of cartoons in presentations is to <strong>make a complex subject easier to understand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Illustrations go a long way towards simplifying a complicated matter.

This is because they are usually associated with entertainment. While cartoons can be fun and humor is one of the reactions they provoke, they are also used for a variety of other purposes. For example, to help simplify a complex process in a technical presentation or explain a new business strategy in an easy-to-grasp way.<\/p>\n<h3>In reality, cartoon presentations are equally effective for both fun and serious topics.<\/h3>\n<p>If you believe that cartoon presentation design looks like the page design of a children&#8217;s book, then you&#8217;ve probably seen quite many bad examples. And quite many good ones. So good and cleverly crafted that you haven&#8217;t even realized they fall into the cartoon presentation category.<\/p>\n<p>Cartoons can be quite successfully used when presenting a serious business topic. Especially when the subject matter is tough, complex, and mundane. When used correctly, cartoons help presenters draw the audience&#8217;s attention to the important key points and hold it throughout the presentation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19679\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19679\" class=\"wp-image-19679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/15131520\/engaging-presentation-concept.jpg\" alt=\"engaging presentation concept\" width=\"400\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/15131520\/engaging-presentation-concept.jpg 400w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/15131520\/engaging-presentation-concept-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/15131520\/engaging-presentation-concept-80x34.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19679\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/graphicmama.com\/design-bundle\/stickman-vector-graphics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stickman vector illustrations<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Even in serious and important presentation topics, cartoons can be used to throw a joke for a refreshment.

How many times have you seen such presentations? How many of them did you remember? In fact&#8230; who remembers a presenter who plays it safe?
