Have you made a presentation to a member company? 6
Research Motivation Describe problem(s) addressed in your research Why is this research important to industry Remember that your audience will include both people that are and are not familiar with your project 7
Colors Try to use only colors that convert for black and white printing The distinction between blue and black for text and thin lines is especially weak Red filled-in objects (circles, rectangles, etc.) with white text are well-suited for highlighting important text Be aware that the contrast of your computer monitor is much higher than that of a projector in a partly lit room 8
Tips Formulas: use the Microsoft Equation Editor, MathType fonts, or even small pictures Embed your font set Use clipart only when it helps to state your point Use at least 1 pt. line width in drawings Stick with one transition effect throughout your presentation Stick to Miller's Magic Number 9
