but not as attention grabbing.

those who are color blind.

54. Illustrations
 Use only when needed, otherwise they
become distracters instead of
communicators.
 They should relate to the message and help
make a point.
 Simple diagrams are great communicators.

55. Bullets

56. Bullets
Limit each slide to one idea.
Use bullet points to cover
components of each idea.

57. Bullets
 Keep each bullet to 1 line, 2 at the most.
 Limit the number of bullets in a screen to
6, 4 if there is a large title, logo, picture,
etc.

58.  If you crowd too much text, the
audience won’t read it.

59. Butterfly Life Cycle
The life cycle of a butterfly is truly
amazing. Butterflies have four life stages,
the egg, the larva (caterpillar), the
pupa (chrysalis), and the adult
butterfly. Each of the four stages are very
unique to individual species of butterflies
which is part of what makes watching and
raising butterflies so much fun.
