Color-blind friendly

Out of 250 people in a room, most probably 10 will be color-blinded. If you want to make color-blind friendly presentation/posters try out this link (its actually a ppt file (9.3 MB) that you would need to open/download). And if you are looking for creating an effective poster, check out this link.

  3. @ KP: well now you know.

    Sure. Its coming soon event..

    @ Crazzybugga: Ah..thats a common misconception. The color-blindness doesn't mean that people see everything in B&W. It simply means that they can't see particular colors depending upon the type of color-blindness they have. So there are few colors you can use that can be seen by everyone. Better still use different symbols instead of colors to depict different things.

  5. @ Crazybugga: Oops.My mistake. The point isn't making them see colors but instead using different symbols (instead of different colors) so that they can differentiate between different data points and get ur message. Thats the whole point anyway, right? Getting your message across to everyone in the audience.
