Color
• Used for separating information, showing quantity, representing reality, decorating
• Edit color schemes & font colors for effective use of color
![Page 9: Design Tips for Effective PowerPoint Use Presented by: Susan Dobbs Krissy Malone Sue Sikora CAT 520 Fall 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649ec45503460f94bcef76/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Depth
• Used to show size, dimension, texture; important to good figure/ground
• Use tabs under “Fill Effects” to create various backgrounds for slides
![Page 10: Design Tips for Effective PowerPoint Use Presented by: Susan Dobbs Krissy Malone Sue Sikora CAT 520 Fall 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649ec45503460f94bcef76/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Space
• Usually ignored; the element between the visual elements; creates balance & symmetry
• Use “Slide Layout” to design balanced slides in presentations

P R O X I M I T Y• How close elements
are to each other• Shows relationships
between elements
• Closer together = closely related info.
• Farther apart = unrelated info.

Figure/Ground• Enhance figure/ ground
distinctions using contrast.

Hierarchy
• Deals with communicating relative importance between elements in a display
• Cluster information into related groups (chunking)
![Page 18: Design Tips for Effective PowerPoint Use Presented by: Susan Dobbs Krissy Malone Sue Sikora CAT 520 Fall 2005.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649ec45503460f94bcef76/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
