Re: colors???
Hi confused being,
The answer below was provided by my wife, who for about ten years owned a presentation graphics company.
I prefer a yellow or white poster board.
The most important thing about display is that you know your key points - the few things you want folks to remember after they walk away from your exhibit - and highlight those key points to stand out. Use the most contrasting color. For example, if your general text is black, make the key points red.
If you are creating pie charts, understand that blues and greens (the cool colors) recede from view, while reds, oranges and yellows (the hot colors) stand out. The hot colors should be used to represent your key points. You could also do a bar chart that way -- making all the bars the same cool color except for the bar or bars that represent your key conclusions.
Don't use a rainbow of colors in your exhibit. Stick to a handful of colors, remembering to use the power colors (your hot colors - the key point colors) powerfully. Use them sparingly and where they will have the most impact.[/img]
