11. Text, Typography, and Style Guidelines
Lead lines, if required by the author, should be Arial Regular, 14 point
Body text and bullets should be flush left beginning at the top point on the slide
Bullets should use sentence-style capitalization with no periods at the end of each entry. If there is more than one sentence per bullet, the last sentence does not have a period
Tabular information and labels on charts and diagrams generally use title-style capitalization
Spell out “and” unless the ampersand is part of a proper name
“Cont’d” is the standard abbreviation for “continued” and should be placed in parentheses

12. Text, Typography, and Style Guidelines (Cont’d)
Always insert a space before an ellipsis (…)
Use em-dashes (—) and hyphens (-) appropriately
En-dashes (–) should not be substituted for em-dashes
Correct punctuation errors before finalizing
Do not double-space after periods — use a single space
Maintain consistency in number treatments, abbreviations, acronyms, etc.

Copy the sample table from the _FMT you are using
Use “Distribute Rows and Columns Evenly” when feasible
Copy the sample org or box array from the _FMT, using preset text in boxes and alignment tools
Copy the sample bar and pie charts from the _FMT, using preset styles and real data to create line, bar, and pie charts
Always use two-dimensional bar charts, etc. — three-dimensional charts skew data relationships

19. no yes no yes* Gradients
Avoid gradients unless they are necessary for understanding
If you must show depth, use a solid color
If you must use a gradient, do not angle it — if the end user’s printer driver does not support it, the angled gradient will explode
It is best to avoid the transparency function — many printer drivers do not support it
From Here
To This Point
Use a gradient to show movement when an arrow is not appropriate
* Use 3D only when essential to the meaning of the graphic no
yes no
yes* 19

20. no yes Drop Shadows Avoid drop shadows; they add visual clutter
Use drop shadows only when needed to enhance meaning
Check “high quality” in Print dialog box
Acceptable PPT Shadow no
yes

21. no yes Buttons and Bevels
Do not use bevels in chart designs; they add visual clutter
Use bevels and rounded shapes only when needed to enhance meaning
When the shape represents an actual interactive button, such as a Web icon
When the impression of depth is central to the meaning of the graphic
Check “high quality” in Print dialog box
Process no
yes
Use only a slight, elegant bevel, and maintain a consistent depth when resizing shapes
Or use a beveled shape from Photoshop (120 ppi, save for Web, 80% .jpg)
Or use a PPT 2007 bevel (Top, Height: 4, Width: 4, Material: Matte, Lighting: Neutral) 21

22. Separation of Like Objects
Add white lines around objects to separate, when needed no
yes no
yes 22

23. Using a Projection Box as a Graphic
Projection boxes always carry the “voice of CSC”
Should not be used as a generic shape (e.g., not for flowcharts)
Do not always have to emerge from the CSC logo
Always five-sided
Fit type to square area of box
Projecting from the short side of the logo
A second box may emerge from the first
Projecting from the notch of the logo
Add a notch to the projection box
It now has six sides
