For example, use “pilot / nav” and “AU/CC” • Most importantly • Be consistent within your presentation
Charts / Graphs • Keep as simple as possible • Use the space available ... bigger charts are easier to read • Colors • The primary colors for graphs are orange, green, and dark blue; if additional colors are needed, ensure they do not detract from the message • Red normally indicates a problem area – avoid it unless it’s the message you wish to send • Borders, axis values, and gridlines should be black
Graph Standard • The graph should be created in a style to tell the story without explanation • All text still in Arial – including all parts of the graph • Include a legend and/or labels if not obvious • Data over time should go left to right AF Standard=2.25 Widget Production against AF Standard Basic Production Information
Red/Yellow/Green Standard • All text still in Arial • Round buttons with no shape outline • Include a legend to define what standard was applied to determine Red, Yellow, or Green • If simply informational – use blue Widget Production Widget Distribution Widget Instillation Widget Utilization On Time Up to 1 week late More than 1 week late
Helpful Hints • Dry run briefings on the equipment you will use • Ensures computers can handle your presentation • Colors may not project overhead as well as they do on your computer screen • Only use graphics if they enhance the message of the slide
