2 Learning to Build an Impressive Business Report using Content, Design, Format, Charts, and Visual Aids Key Attributes in a Business Report: 1. Content 2. Format; Readability and Legibility 3. Design 4. Visual Aids 2

3 Content; Write for Readability! Encarta Dictionary: read.a.bil.i.ty (noun) a measure of the ease with which a passage or text may be read Concise content; verbose is verboden (German for forbidden) Content should be in logical/chronological order Be consistent in use of: terminology, names, acronyms, etc. Shorter sentences; small(er) words = reader retention People scan-read missing up to 50% of the content On-screen reading is the worst and includes; presentation slides, s, text messages. Write with scan-reading in mind 3

4 Margins: Format; for Flow and Legibility! Encarta Dictionary: leg.i.ble (adjective) clear enough to be read Use normal margins, not too small and not too larger, one-half inch for all sides will keep the text line length easy to read and comprehend Font Style (typeface): Two styles of fonts: Serif and San Serif Serif fonts are better for legibility; due to the small tags/tips on the end of the letters helping to guide the eye during reading: Times Roman, Garamond, Palatino S 4

5 Format; for Flow and Legibility! Font Style (typeface) continued: San Serif fonts are without the small tags/tips on the end of the letters: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial S Font enhancements add design: bold, italic, underline, CAPS, SMALL CAPS Use Headers, Footers and Page Numbers for report organization and easy page reference Bullet Points and Numbering 5

6 Format; Begin with an Outline Determine what the business partner NEEDS to know Develop an outline using in a logical order; following a logical thought process Use subheadings to highlight key topics Use data, statistics, case studies and quotes to support the content (site the source if required). Homer: "Oh people can come up with statistics to prove anything. In fact, 40% of all people know that." 6

7 Design and Visual Aids Use Color, Color, Color, and More Color to: 1. Help connect the content dots with color coordination 2. Add areas of emphasis to content that is paramount 3. Create pizzazz, flare, fun, and help to keep the reader reading! Use charts, graphics, photos (use only Royalty-Free images if pulling from the internet) FYI: Royalty-Free means you do not have to pay a royalty fee to use the image. Typically an image you have to pay for will have a watermark or logo stamped over it. 7

This pointer is what you use to select and execute files, programs, etc. The I-beam pointer is used when working with text.

To select a word with the I-beam, double-click in the middle of any word and to select an entire line of text or paragraph click the button quickly three times.
