Bullets• I wanted to show too much information so I

put a bunch on one slide• I like to add a bunch of really long bullets so

that you can see all of my information• Bullets are so much fun!• I love bullets and know that everyone does too• I want to cover my whole page with bullets to

show how much information I have• Bullets are the best, and show how smart I am• Yay for bullets!!!!!!!!• One last bullet to get my point across..• Oh wait, one more

Bullets

• Bullets can be used very effectively to convey info

• They should be concise

• They should be in groups of four

• They should be spaced apart and not have too

much info

Background

• A background should not be distracting

from the point of your topic

• It should not be chaotic

• You should be able to see the text easily

• It should not be fuzzy or out of focus

Background

• This is a very simple background

• It conveys the appropriate information in a clean way

• It isn’t fuzzy or unclear

• It doesn’t distract from my overall message

Contrast

• This slide shows how important contrast is

• It is unreadable • It is unappealing to the eye

Contrast

• Contrast is very important to make the slide eye catching

• Dark on light

• Light on dark

• These help to make the slide easy to read

Graphics/StyleI couldn’t figure out how to split up my infomration, so I just put everything on one powerpoint and kept talking. I wanted to put a ton of information packed into one slide so I wouldn’t have to talk as much. My background is really pretty because I wanted it to stand out from everyone else. My text is also not typical so that I can be different.

Graphics/Style

• This is a very simple, classy slide.

• It is complete with several bullets to show

information easily

• The photo is in a good location and goes well

with the slide

Rule of Four• This slide has too many points• It rambles on and on• Everything is stuck together• It is not grouped by four• No one will remember the things

that are said• Everything looks jumbled• The slide looks messy• It doesn’t look simple• It isn’t eye catching or appealing• It is not easily readable

Rule of Four• Group text into four items

• This keeps the slide appealing

• The slide remains simple

• Groups of four are easier to remember

ProximityText shouldn’t be weirdly

justified or spaced to one side, because it looks very

unbalanced.

• Center bullets also tend to look strange

• They should be avoided most of the time

Proximity

• Space images and text out

evenly

• Put bullet points to left justify for nice, even spacing across the page

• Centered text makes for a nice, clean powerpoint

Fonts

• This font is distracting

• It takes away from the overall message

• It is hard to read

• USING CAPS INVOKES A SENSE OF ANGER AND IS EXTREME

Fonts

• Fonts should simple

• They should go well with the theme

• They should not distract from the overall message

• Too many fonts shouldn’t be used

Perceptual Differences

• Text should not be overly colorful

• Only important words should have emphasis

• Pictures should not have captions that don’t fit

An onion A pair of pants

Perceptual Differences

• Perceptual differences are important

• Words should be bold , underlined, or italicized for added importance

• Text should be grouped with the item it is describing
