The original flow chart at the left<br />

is a hodgepodge of elements<br />

(collectively known as chart junk),<br />

that should be avoided in all<br />

presentation materials, including<br />

• borders<br />

• words consisting of all-capital letters<br />

• coarse screens (linear and<br />

dot patterns)<br />

• shadows<br />

• oddly shaped boxes<br />

• grossly deformed arrows<br />

Ridding the page of chart junk<br />

unclutters it. Using only the<br />

necessary design elements,<br />

• simple boxes<br />

• arrows<br />

helps present the information<br />

much more clearly.<br />

Making the most important verbal<br />

element into a headline at the top<br />

of the page simplifies the layout<br />

and clarifies the point of the chart.<br />

The type is much easier to read<br />

when set in upper- and lowercase<br />

letters instead of the all-capital<br />

letters used in the chart above.
