New Content design – Key changes regarding „lean, linear, literal"

…Do not use shading or borders

Instead, use unframed colored shapes in shades of key blue, for emphasis only

…Do not use ovals

Instead, use AutoShapes with corners completely rounded off

Do not use stickers with lines

Instead, use upper case stickers (13 point), (key blue shade 1), positioned in the header area

Do not put numbers in circles

Instead, put them in squares (key blue shade 1), white lettering, bold

If boxes are used,

75Module und Variations_E

There are obvious disadvantages to positioning text behind graphics

Do not position text behind graphics

Position text to the side of graphics instead

Arrow function can be switched on and off/ positioned to the side

Text is easy to read if not positioned behind graphics

Do not use speech bubbles

Instead, use AutoShapes/callouts/third row (you can use the arrow function!)

Do not use big multicolored cartoons/ Clip Art

Instead, use pictograms (if not available: convert Clip Art to linear monochrome versions)

Do not use miniature charts as navigators

Instead, use mathematical navigators (key blue shade 1), white lettering, bold, 13 point
