According to Reep (2006), boxes are used to add more information that is pertaining to the primary content. Boxes are also used to point out important information (Reep 2006). In this slide, not only the boxes are supplying additional information, it also differentiates certain details from the rest (Reep 2006). In the slide above, additional details regarding links and its description can be easily be located because of the details are separated. Boxes also makes the slide neater and easier to be read.
Reep (2006) states that colour will make slides attractive and attention grabbing to the readers.
Besides that, colours also help a reader to navigate around to locate certain details (Reep 2006). In the above slide, the different colours that are used however are not too attention grabbing and does not really catch the reader's attention. The colours used such as blue and purple are quite relatively neutral and easily blends with the background. Stronger colours like bright red should be used to help readers to find the information that they hope to find.
The slide above features information that are in bullet form. The information are not in any chronological order or importance. Reep (2006) states that bullets should be used when the presented information does not have differentiation in importance and information are not arranged in a sequenced order. If information are supposed to be in order, numbers should be used (Reep 2006).
