Improving the Design and Content of PowerPoint Slides

Your Task.

Identify ways to improve the design and content of the three slides presented in Figure 14.9. Classify your comments under the following categories:

(a) Color choices,

(b) Font choice including style and point size,

(c) 6-x-6 rule,

(d) Listings in parallel grammatical form,

(e) Consistent capitalization and punctuation, and

(f) Graphics and images.

Identify what needs to be improved and exactly how you would improve it. For example, if you identify category (d) as an area needing improvement, your answer would include a revision of the listing. When you finish, your instructor may show you a revised set of slides.*
