TNA presentation Organised—logical flowing information (as per report format) Attractive—not too busy or sparse, with a good balance of text to space Easy to read—easily understood font, 11 or 12 point, with spaced paragraphs. Justified (left as a minimum). Use language appropriate to the client organisation, and avoid colloquialisms. Appropriate illustrations—only use photos, graphs, tables or diagrams that are appropriate and relevant. The TNA is not a sales brochure or picture book!
