siirtymäkuva

A siirtymäkuva, often translated as transition image or transitional graphic, is a visual element used in various media, particularly in presentations, educational materials, and digital storytelling, to indicate a shift from one topic or section to another. Its primary purpose is to signal to the audience that a change is occurring in the content being presented, allowing them to mentally reorient themselves.

Siirtymäkuvat can take many forms. They might be simple text overlays stating the new topic, abstract graphics, photographs, illustrations, or even short animated sequences. The design of a siirtymäkuva should be consistent with the overall style of the presentation to maintain visual coherence. A well-designed siirtymäkuva can help to break up long stretches of information, improve the flow of content, and make the material more engaging and easier to follow. In educational contexts, they serve as cues that reinforce learning by clearly demarcating different concepts or stages of a lesson. In professional presentations, they can create a sense of order and professionalism, guiding the audience through complex information.
