Welcome to Presentation Software 101 By Miss Herman
Rule 1 • Images should match your words
Rule 2 • Too much animation is not good
This is too much animation • State Symbol: Illinois State Fish — Bluegill (Lepomismacrochirus) • The bluegill is a very common fish throughout Illinois. It is the most common member of the sunfish family and is recognized by its stripy olive to yellow colors and its distinctive black spot behind the gills. It grows to about nine inches (24 cm) in length. A typical bluegill weighs about twelve ounces (.3kg). Bluegills are carnivorous. They mainly eat aquatic insects and insect larvae. They also eat smaller fish, crayfish, and snails, and algae when food supplies are low.
Rule 3 • Colors should be contrasting
Bad colors • This is an example of bad color usage. • This is an example of good color contrast.
Rule 4 • Use as few words as possible
Example of too many words • The bluegill is a very common fish throughout Illinois. It is the most common member of the sunfish family and is recognized by its stripy olive to yellow colors and its distinctive black spot behind the gills. It grows to about nine inches (24 cm) in length. A typical bluegill weighs about twelve ounces (.3kg). Bluegills are carnivorous. They mainly eat aquatic insects and insect larvae. They also eat smaller fish, crayfish, and snails, and algae when food supplies are low. • Bluegill are most abundant in clear lakes with large amounts of aquatic vegetation, but it also occurs in a variety of habitats, such as pools, overflow ponds, oxbows, swamps, and man-made impoundments. In the summer bluegills build nests in water less than about two feet (60 cm) deep. These nests are shallow, circular depressions and are frequently in areas with gravel bottoms. Often many males build nests in one small area. Females lay eggs in the nests and the males guard the eggs until they hatch. • The Symbol • Illinois school children selected the blue gill as the state fish in 1986. • References: • W.L.
