Figure 5 shows a capture of an image on Avoiding Death by PowerPoint; however, the image itself was created within PowerPoint and is not what would consider to be a good graphic.

Problems include:

• The central item is at the bottom of the graphic,
• The colours green does not contrast well with the grey-blue background,
• There is no emphasis: everything has the same weight,
• The font is Times New Roman (with serifs) and too small,
• The lines are thin and almost invisible at a distance,
• The arrows are half-hazardly arranged, and
• The word theories appears nine times.

Figure 6 demonstrates improvements, including:

• Motivation now forms the root of the tree,
• The reds contrast with the white background,
• Significance is emphasized with changes in colour, emphasis (bold), and font size,
• The font is a sans serif Arial,
• The lines are thicker and clear,
• The arrows emanated from and toward the centres-of-mass of the respective nodes and the nodes are arranged more regularly, and
• The title would probably be replaced with Organization of Theories.
