Figure 40.1. Effective bullet slide

Figure 40.2. Effective bar chart

The guiding principles of this simple but effective bullet slide can be summarized in four bullets:

• Consider every line as a headline and not a sentence.

• Avoid word wrap by restricting every item to one line.

• Start each line with the same grammatical part of speech: verbs, nouns, and modifiers, etc.

• Keep all the elements related, creating pattern recognition.

The guiding principles of this simple but effective bar chart can be summarized in four bullets:

• Omit the Y-axis and place the numbers directly on the bars.

• Represent the legend in legible font size.

• Use large, color-coded labels.

• Make it easy for your audience by minimizing their search.

Or to paraphrase the last bullet in terms that Mr. Thoreau would appreciate, help your audience to lead lives free of desperation.
