Standard Slides, con’t Colors Title – Dark Blue (Theme Color—Text 2) Body – Black (Theme Color—Text 1) Bullets and line spacing – use the default setting whenever possible Bullets 100% of text Insert spaces before and after dashes, slashes, and ellipsis unless you are writing an office symbol. For example, use “pilot / nav” and “AU/CC” Most importantly Be consistent within your presentation

Charts / Graphs Keep as simple as possible Use the space available ... bigger charts are easier to read Colors The primary colors for graphs are orange, green, and dark blue; if additional colors are needed, ensure they do not detract from the message Red normally indicates a problem area – avoid it unless it’s the message you wish to send Borders, axis values, and gridlines should be black

Graph Standard The graph should be created in a style to tell the story without explanation All text still in Arial – including all parts of the graph Include a legend and/or labels if not obvious Data over time should go left to right AF Standard=2.25 Widget Production against AF Standard Basic Production Information

Red/Yellow/Green Standard All text still in Arial Round buttons with no shape outline Include a legend to define what standard was applied to determine Red, Yellow, or Green If simply informational – use blue Widget Production Widget Distribution Widget Instillation Widget Utilization On Time Up to 1 week late More than 1 week late

Helpful Hints Dry run briefings on the equipment you will use Ensures computers can handle your presentation Colors may not project overhead as well as they do on your computer screen Only use graphics if they enhance the message of the slide
