lines. You may have to cut some words!• Use phrases, not sentences .• No more than eight lines per slide

The Footer BoxThe Footer Box

The box that contains the footer information should be .25 inches tall and 10 inches wide. The color can be modified so that it coordinates with the overall color scheme of your PowerPoint.

New Worker Materials will need to include the directory path name just like all other NW materials. To accommodate the path name in the box, make the box .4 inches tall rather than .25 inches. Type the directory path name in Arial, 10 point font with no bolding.

A template for New Worker materials is available for you to use.

Background Color Background Color

• The template has a white background with an orange box in the footer. Feel free to choose the colors that best suit the presentation. Both the background color and footer box color can be modified.

• As a guideline, pick a background color and use no more than three additional colors of text for maximum impact.

• Consider both color and texture for backgrounds. Sometimes a neutral background with a simple texture will work better than a solid color.

• When using multiple background colors, be sure to use complimentary colors; the colors will blend together without detracting from the foreground text.

Example 1The need to make to policies, practices and procedures when necessary to ensure equal opportunity for people with disabilities.

Reasonable modifications

Note how the yellow & blue backgrounds compliment each other.

The shading and rounding of the yellow background also gives the presentation dimension.

The contrasting orange text color is used here to draw focus and emphasis.

This example also uses a white background, but adds color and dimension with the use of the static title bar image.

Color and Accessibility Color and Accessibility

• According to various sources, 5 percent to 8 percent of men have some form of color blindness, red-green being the most common. For this reason, it's a good idea to limit the use of red and green to high contrast color combinations. Avoid combinations of red/green and red/blue.

• Avoid relying exclusively on color to present information; everyone, including blind and visually impaired individuals, should get all of the information from your presentation.

• Keep the number of total colors in the presentation to no more than 4 or 5.

• As a general rule, lighter backgrounds with darker text and foreground colors are easier to read from a distance.
