The Zen of Presentations, Part 41: Consistency I don’t think I would convince anyone of my argument if that list were all I posted. For example, I feel okay about using a bulleted list for a quick summary of my case again bullet points: A poster, though, should be more than just short lists. They are completely appropriate for short lists. This is not to say that bulleted lists are useless. It is the most common thing we read, and is how we expect to absorb complicated ideas. Sentences can express many more relationships.įourth, readers are trained to read sentences in paragraphs. And a list can show only one of those relationships at a time.īullet lists may be more concise, but they are impoverished compared to sentences in paragraphs. Lists can communicate three logical relationships: sequence (first to last in time) priority (least to most important or vice versa) or simple membership in a set (these items relate to one another in some way, but the nature of that relationship remains unstated). Edward Tufte has made a thorough analysis (from The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint, excerpt quoted here): Microsoft Publisher, which I use a lot for posters, handles bullets even more poorly. The spacing between lines and points is also a little dodgy. Under this default scheme, the bullets are too far from the text.
