Guidelines and tips for producing a variety of visual materials begin with suggestions for designing overhead transparencies and instructions for making and using mounts, masks, and overlays for the transparencies. Directions are then provided for constructing thermal filmstrips for use on the overhead projector and thermal slides for title and credit slides in other slide presentations. Additional techniques for preparing title slides include suggestions for creating art work and lettering to be photographed and developed commercially and detailed instructions for using and processing Kodalith film. Instructions are also provided for constructing folding pocket panel display units and for producing 8mm film animation. Common lettering methods are rated as to quality, variety, expense, difficulty of use, and time involved, and the process of producing lettering using an opaque projector is described. Suggestions for coordinating student production of media and a list of selected sources for clip art, lettering tools, books, and video equipment conclude this guide. (EW)
