Why TeleMedicine Will
Reformat Your Slides & Graphics

Television is a fickle beast that will chop, blur and bleed your carefully constructed graphics. 

Chop: Not all televisions are the same. Some have larger display areas than others. As such television graphics must be sized to fit the largest common display area which is known as making the image "title safe." What this means in PowerPoint is that you must stay far away from the edges if you want to make sure your information is not chopped off by televisions around the world.

Blur: In comparison to film slides, the television resolution is very bad. To account for this your graphics need to be sized far larger than what is often intuitive. Besides making everything big there are other ways to combat television's resolution assault such as "bolding" the fonts, adding drop shadows and avoiding thins lines that tend to dance on the screen ( which is why "serif" fonts such as Times New Roman are always a bad idea for TV). 

Bleed: On television red bleeds to the right. As such it should be avoided in television presentations.

Before & After: Our revision of your graphics is based on our desire to make you and your research look the very best.
