TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I know this subject was addressed quite some time ago, but I've lost most
of my archived mail and I need the information again (and as has been
discussed recently, searching the TECHWR-L archives is not an option right
now--I've tried).
I need to get information on design issues for presentations--things like
what colors work best, what fonts are good, how many graphics per screen is
too much, etc.
Can any of you recommend a good book, or do you have any suggestions for
these issues? My two local libraries are a little short on current graphic
design books. I'm going to do the Barnes-and-Noble browse session in the
next couple of days, but I wanted some recommendations to start with.
Please reply offline, unless you think everyone would be interested in your
responses.
Thanks!
