In most cases, you have at least one demonstrative exhibit that will will shock or wow the jury. A common mistake is to overexpose that picture to the jury, thereby desensitizing them to it.

Another way to do that it to put a black border tape around all of your foam core exhibits. Except for he one exhibit. Put red border tape around that exhibit. When your foam core boards are leaning up against the wall, the jury will see that they all have black border tape except for the one. That will heighten their curiosity in seeing that exhibit.

After they have seen the exhibit and the boards are leaning up against the wall, they will notice the red border standing out among the black borders and it will remind them of the exhibit without even seeing the picture.
