Cool Color Commentary

Art involves the use of color, but what message does a color convey?
With your dynamic public speaking skills you can us the art of color to convey a
particular meaning or purpose.

Flip Chart Color
As an artist with dynamic public speaking skills you can use color for maximum benefit...

=> Black ,blue and green inks have the greatest visibility.

=> Blue is the most pleasing color to look at with red coming in second
(note: pleasing to look at and visibility are not the same)

=> Do not do the whole chart in red ink.

=> Avoid purple ,brown ,pink and yellow inks.

=> Permanent markers give the most vivid color but dry out faster if
you leave the cap off. They also frequently bleed thru to the next
page. Forget trying to get the ink out of your clothes.

=> Water colors are less vivid and squeak when you write. Ink will wash
out of clothing.

heavy way to end this section, I will give you a reference to find out
