“…Consideration should be given to the choice of letter case (capitals, lowercase, or a combination). Some authors have suggested that a combination is more readable than either on its own (4,10). Research supports the use of lowercase type styles for improved reader comprehension (11,12).…”

“…Fonts can vary from computer to computer, and not all fonts are available on all computers. Although serif fonts are traditionally used for the printed page (the addition of the serif helps guide the reader's eyes along the line), they do not always work well when projected on screen (3,4). The different thicknesses of the lines making up the characters can also make them difficult to read.…”

Most radiologists are now creating their own image and text slides for oral presentations. PowerPoint software offers a tremendous number of options for personalizing slides. Having choices of font, color scheme, display options, sound, and graphics provide an opportunity to enhance a presentation in ways that were not possible with 35-mm slides and slide projectors. However, inappropriate use of PowerPoint features can substantially degrade the quality of a presentation. Many of the "rules" for creating an effective presentation given with slide projectors apply to electronic presentations, but some of the options available with only electronic presentations (eg, building, transitioning, and sound) necessitate new "rules." The article provides tips on how to develop effective text and image slides for electronic presentation by using PowerPoint, including the appropriate use of text, font, color, sound, graphics, slide display, and radiologic images.

“…According to a study by Shapiro, Ward and Vetter (1995), adding colors to classroom instruction can enhance students' performance. Buckingham and Harrower (2007) state that color application to classroom instruction is sometimes only for getting the attention of students, especially the ones in primary grades.…”

The Malaysian education system has transformed from the traditional to the modern, albeit keeping to textbooks as the main teaching material. Among the factors determining the quality of textbooks, color is an important one, especially in primary school textbooks. Suitably applied, it will enrich classroom instruction and aid the learning process. This research was designed to run in two phases, and the data collected were analyzed by SPSS software. In the first phase, the colors used in the pictures of Year-4 English textbook were evaluated. Next, the color preferences of 384 students in the fourth grade of national primary schools were collected. Data from the first phase show that out of 901 textbook pictures, 792, 733, and 412 respectively use primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Data from the second phase show the students highly interested in tertiary colors. The results of this study reveal important points for textbook quality improvement. Knowing what colors students like allows illustrators to consider age levels, not only when illustrating textbooks but also when creating pictures for other materials.

“…Examples of such applications include visualization of multispectral/stereo data using pseudocolor images and use of color to portray 3-D relationships in multidimensional data bases. The proper use of color in these and other multimedia applications greatly enhances their effectiveness [65, p. 601], [67]. Usually, the color images are designed for viewing on a CRT monitor and tend to exploit the full capabilities of the monitor.…”

Color imaging for multimedia

To a significant degree, multimedia applications derive their effectiveness from the use of color graphics, images, and video. However, the requirements for accurate color reproduction and for the preservation of this information across display and print devices that have very different characteristics and may be geographically apart are often not clearly understood. This paper describes the basics of color science, color input and output devices, color management, and calibration that help in defining and meeting these requirements.
