Abstract: In this talk, we will introduce practical principles for explaining and presenting complex ideas clearly through visuals. We will explore how progressive structure, tangible representations, and temporal correspondence help guide attention and reduce cognitive load. Drawing from experiences creating educational videos, the talk highlights strategies for explanation, presentation, and visual storytelling that improve clarity and impact.
