The document provides guidance on creating effective timelines including labeling events sequentially, using proportionate spacing, incorporating some color, and leaving white space. It includes examples of timelines showing one woman's life events and the growth of Australia's population over time. Symbols are presented for labeling dates, showing breaks in time, and spans of years. The document concludes with credits for collaborators on the timeline project.

Building Timelines Show your skills… and communicate effectively!
A Timeline Tells a Story…
A Timeline of Mrs. Carpenter’s Life Born (1964) Married David (1991) Birth to Max Birth to Sam (1996) (1997) Moved to Taipei (2007) Lived in Hong Kong (2002-2007) 1965 1990 1995 2000 2005
Good Timelines… • Are sequential (years and events are labeled in correct order!) • Are easy to read (neat) because they were PLANNED, drafted, and THEN published! • Represent periods of time in a PROPORTIONALLY accurate way • Make effective use of color without overdoing it • Use blank s p a c e to keep things easy to read: space on borders, space between labels… not… all CRAMMEDtogetherandIMPOSSIBLEtoread!
Good Timeline TIPS: • Label years of events in parentheses example: (1965) • Use a couple colors for a color theme. Use RED only for urgent highlight • Fonts: choose 1 and stick with it. • Do not use “caps lock” or fonts that are all capital letters– hard for the brain to read!
Timeline Symbols Label date of event in parentheses example: (1964)
“Lightning Bolts” show a break in time. Use them to replace a span of many years that you cannot fit onto your page.
A “Bracket” shows a span of years.
Select a couple of colors to establish a nice color theme. Too much color is really BARFY, gets in the WAY of your message, and makes the reader DIZZY! PS: DON’T USE ALL CAPS, EITHER!!!!!

Timeline Symbols “White Space” on borders and between labels must be there!
