I would choose the topic of texting and driving. Two effective visual aids I could use for this speech are:

1) Infographic: I could create an infographic that shows statistics on the dangers of texting and driving, such as the number of accidents caused by distracted driving, the percentage of drivers who admit to texting while driving, and the potential consequences of this behavior. This visual aid would be effective in presenting data in a clear and visually appealing way.

2) Simulation video: I could show a simulation video that depicts the dangers of texting and driving. This could include a reenactment of a car accident caused by texting, or a virtual reality experience that puts the audience in the driver's seat to show the impact of distracted driving. This visual aid would be effective in creating a powerful and memorable impact on the audience.

To ensure each visual aid is most effective, I would follow the four guidelines for visual aids:

1) Relevance: I would ensure that both the infographic and the simulation video directly relate to the topic of texting and driving, and that they support the key points of my speech.

2) Clarity: I would make sure that the information presented in the infographic is easy to understand and visually appealing, using clear and concise graphics and text. For the simulation video, I would ensure that the visuals are realistic and impactful, and that the message is clear.

3) Visibility: I would ensure that the visual aids are large enough for the audience to see clearly, and that they are positioned in a way that all audience members have a good view. For the simulation video, I would also make sure that the screen or projection is of high quality.

4) Limited text: I would keep the text on the infographic to a minimum, using bullet points and short phrases to convey the information effectively. For the simulation video, I would use minimal text and instead focus on the visual impact of the content.

By following these guidelines, I would ensure that both visual aids are most effective in supporting my speech on the dangers of texting and driving.
