1. My Examples

2. Slide 2 Note the different background! Note the different background! Not very smooth, huh? Not very smooth, huh?

3. Yet another design! (and too much crummy clip-art)

4. Back to my original slide layout! Well-designed clip-art Only using one clip!

5. The same goes for pictures! A poor quality image can ruin a slide! A poor quality image can ruin a slide! Don’t put too many images on one page! Don’t put too many images on one page!

6. If you are using an image- Make sure it’s clear Make sure it’s clear It may look different on the big screen! It may look different on the big screen!

7. Use chart style that’s appropriate for the data- Does this make any sense? Does this make any sense? You must choose wisely! You must choose wisely!

8. Much more appropriate- Nice graph! Nice graph!

9. Try not to use more than 4 colors on one chart!

10. Colors Colors may look different when projected. Check them. Light colors on dark backgrounds attract the eye. Use color cues to imply relationships. Limit the number of colors on a single screen image. Establish a color scheme at the beginning and stick with it. Bright colors make small objects and thin lines stand out.

11. Emotions of Color Red = stop, alert, life, revolution, passion Orange/Yellow = optimism, warmth, wisdom, caution White = innocence, hopeful, day, truth, clean, new Black = night, gravity, importance, solemn, mortality Green = growth, youth, health, fertility, proceed Purple = regal, spirituality, sophisticated, nostalgia Gray = integrity, maturity, neutrality, discretion Blue = dignity, trust, stability, day, devotion, justice

12. “Type” (44 point) Pick a font that fits the message. Don't use more than three fonts in a presentation. Don't overuse boldface, italic or all caps. DON’T OVERUSE BOLDFACE, ITALIC OR ALL CAPS. In general, don't use a font size smaller than 18 points. Headlines should be in the range of 35-45 points.

13. Sans serif fonts, such as Helvetica, are easier to read when projected: M Serif (Times) M sans-serif (Helvetica) Sans-serif: a typeface without serifs, which are the short horizontal lines added at the tops and bottoms of the vertical member of the letter.
