The other tip I've learnt is that pictures are often better than words in conveying complex info

Absolutely. Of course, it's possible to overdo it, but there are times when a single picture can convey what you're trying to say much better than merely trying to explain it. I realized part way through my last presentation that I really should have done a simple diagram to explain colorimetric intent, rather than trying (and I think largely failing) to describe it in words.
