Whiteboard Slide: Pros and Cons Evaluation

Slide Content

The PowerPoint slide is designed to help evaluate the pros and cons of a particular topic or decision. On the left side, under the "Pros" column, positive aspects would be listed, often signifying benefits, advantages, or favorable outcomes associated with the subject at hand. The right side is dedicated to the "Cons," outlining negative aspects such as drawbacks, disadvantages, or risks. This type of comparison allows for a balanced view when considering different aspects of a decision or strategy.

Graphical Look

• Two distinct text boxes, one labeled "Pros" and the other "Cons," are central to the slide, each placed within its half of the slide divided by a dotted vertical line.
• The "Pros" textbox is accompanied by a checkmark icon, encapsulated in a circle and highlighted with a light blue outline, matching the textbox border color.
• The "Cons" textbox is paired with an "X" mark icon, also encapsulated in a circle and highlighted with a light green outline, complementing the textbox border color.
• The dotted vertical line creates a symmetrical division, emphasizing the balance and contrast between the two opposing lists.
• Both text boxes have a banner-like appearance, simulating a flowing ribbon, adding depth and movement to the slide’s design.

The overall look is clean and balanced, with a simple color scheme that visually differentiates between the 'pros' and 'cons' sections. The checkmark and "X" icons serve as universally recognized symbols for positive and negative attributes respectively.
