You Snooze, They Lose: Chapter 1

In Chapter 1,  Burkman talks about some essentials that must be done in order to enhance a Powerpoint presentation.  One of the things she mentions is the use of color.  She lists the colors in order in which the eye is likely to see first.  To my surprise I actually picked the two colors she would prefer, yellow text on blue background.  Another thing she mentioned was the font that us to be used is to be clean and avoid collisions of letters.  One of my favorite fonts was actually listed, Georgia.  I always prefer this over Times New Roman because its a bit larger and more spaced.  One thing that I learned that I must do to my presentations is to include less text and structure the bullets so that they are not as monotonous.
