The strength of a presentation is in its
content.Content should be maplike
clear, economical and undecorated. Color,
text, information graphics and photography
are tools to help make your point, not
detract from it.
All design choices were made to convey
a fresh, contemporary feel and to represent
UC as it moves forward into the future.

Keep it simple. Easy-to-read, concisegraphics will communicate your
information effectively. Extraneous
effects such as -dimensionality,
gradients and shadows add clutter,
not visual interest. Calling outinformation in a chart using a
separate column can be useful. If you
must include text on the same slide
as an information graphic, keep it
minimal so as not to overwhelmyour audience.
