Description
Planning professionals and educators need to communicate effectively in written work; before small, informal groups; and in large, formal meetings. Graphic aids improve your ability to communicate ideas clearly and effectively. Presentation Graphics will help all planners who make presentations or use computer software to create graphics to support such presentations. This report is based on an extensive review of software for creating presentation graphics. It addresses the reasons that planners should know about presentation graphics, as well as issues such as user interfaces, organization and layout aids, color choice, and typographic control. It also shows how to organize, manage, and design a presentation; select font libraries and clip art; and manage and compress image files. Illustrations are found throughout the book, with screens from different programs printed for guidance and comparison. Appendices include information for planners with a more technical background.
