5. NewWorkeFooterExample/Xxxx/xxx_xx_TN_070513 The Footer Box The box that contains the footer information should be.25 inches tall and 10 inches wide. The color can be modified so that it coordinates with the overall color scheme of your PowerPoint. New Worker Materials will need to include the directory path name just like all other NW materials. To accommodate the path name in the box, make the box.4 inches tall rather than.25 inches. Type the directory path name in Arial, 10 point font with no bolding. A template for New Worker materials is available for you to use. 07/05/13DCF/DFES/BWF/Partner Training Section5 507/05/13

6. Background Color The template has a white background with an orange box in the footer. Feel free to choose the colors that best suit the presentation. Both the background color and footer box color can be modified. As a guideline, pick a background color and use no more than three additional colors of text for maximum impact. Consider both color and texture for backgrounds. Sometimes a neutral background with a simple texture will work better than a solid color. When using multiple background colors, be sure to use complimentary colors; the colors will blend together without detracting from the foreground text. 07/05/13DCF/DFES/BWF/Partner Training Section6

11. Color and Accessibility According to various sources, 5 percent to 8 percent of men have some form of color blindness, red-green being the most common. For this reason, it's a good idea to limit the use of red and green to high contrast color combinations. Avoid combinations of red/green and red/blue. Avoid relying exclusively on color to present information; everyone, including blind and visually impaired individuals, should get all of the information from your presentation. Keep the number of total colors in the presentation to no more than 4 or 5. As a general rule, lighter backgrounds with darker text and foreground colors are easier to read from a distance. 07/05/13DCF/DFES/BWF/Partner Training Section11
