Crossroad Diagram – Journey Towards Your Goal

Slide Content

The slide titled "Crossroad Diagram – Journey Towards Your Goal" features a visual metaphor for decision making or strategic planning using road signs and a stylized path. It includes a 'Destination' sign implying the end goal, a 'STOP' sign representing immediate actions or cautions before proceeding, and an 'Obstacles' sign highlighting potential challenges on the path to the goal. Each sign is accompanied by bullet points for adding specific text or descriptions relating to each concept.

Graphical Look

• The central motif is a crossroad with a dark grey and white road pictogram stretching horizontally across the slide.
• A large teal-colored rectangular sign with the word 'DESTINATION' hangs over the intersection, signifying the goal or end-point.
• To the left, a red hexagonal 'STOP' sign stands beside the road with a corresponding text box outlined in red with a bullet list for adding information.
• On the right side, a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a wavy line, suggesting bumps or obstacles, is paired with an orange-outlined text box including bullet points for more details.
• The background is plain white, which makes the graphic elements stand out prominently.
• Silhouettes of city buildings appear subtly in the background, directly above the crossroad.

The slide has a clean and straightforward design that utilizes bold traffic sign symbols to convey its message clearly. The color-coding and placement of text boxes are well thought out to associate text with the corresponding sign metaphor.
