Text is harder to read from a screen than it is from paper, partly because the resolution of the screen is so much lower (less dots per character) and also because the light is projected rather than reflected. With Text can also be formatted in terms of point size, colour, font, spacing, column width and alignment, although these aspects of typography are now more normally handled through what is called a ‘cascading style sheet’ (CSS), set up by a designer, leaving the author to worry about the content. We start our tour of the elements that make up all our online communications with the medium we all take for granted – simple text. 

Exploring the question's design, the question asks me to consider emotionally charged, polarizing topics (adultery + celebrity fandom), then cram-wrap my answer into a yes/no format by presupposing there is only one black-or-white definition of "being a fan". Loaded Questions unfairly manipulate the responder/audience by projecting a contrived reality onto others. A guy I know just asked this question on his Facebook feed: Are you a fan of Tiger Woods: Yes/No My first reaction was to think not about my answer, but about the question. Why was I uncomfortable with it?

What could possibly be wrong about too much design in our presentations? Presentations such as training programs, sales presentations, project status updates, and reporting on financial or operational results. In these types of presentations, when there is too much design in the graphics and movement, the risk is that it is perceived as slick. Just so we are all clear, I’m not talking about large keynote style presentations that have a significant entertainment component. Almost none of us will be working on presentations like Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” presentation
