Basic PowerPoint Design A Quick Lesson in Graphic Communication
Align major elements with each other or with a grid. • Show gridlines by clicking View: Grid and Guides: Display grid on screen • Use the “Rule of the Thirds” sweet spots: place your most important info here
Use slide layouts • Create a new slide by clicking Insert: New Slide. • If the toolbar doesn’t automatically appear on the right, click Format: Slide Layout • Select the layout style that best fits your text, images, graphs, and video
In general, use one strong visual image. If using multiple images, group together with rules, such as: • Same horizontal or vertical axis • Similar content • Color schemes • Connecting lines

“White” Space Leave lots of empty space on your slide, especially around the edges and above and below the text.

How to create a text box • Click Insert: Text Box. (Or use the button from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. • Drag the box to the size you want it. • Select a font that matches your previous slides • Use font sizes 24 or larger
Inserting different types of files: • Pictures: Click File: Insert Picture: From file • Find the saved picture you want to insert • Video: Click File: Insert: Movies and Sounds: Movie from file • Find the saved movie you want to insert
Adding transitions & animation • Transitions • Select the slide you want to modify • Click Slide Show: Slide Transition: Select a transition • Note: There is a button at the bottom of the transition selection box that lets you apply this transition to all slides • Animations • Select the element (picture, piece of text, etc.) that you would like to be animated • Click: Slide Show: Custom Animation: Add Effect
WARNING! MOST TRANSITIONS AND ANIMATIONS ARE EXTREMELY ANNOYING
When to use animations • Fly in bullets one at a time so people don’t read ahead. • That’s the only reason I can think of.
Repetition • Repetition is a very good thing. Remember: • Fonts: Choose one or two. • Colors: Establish a color palette for your master slide and stick with it. • Alignment: Align pictures, text, and all elements to the grid. Use the Rule of Thirds. • Images: Use one strong image per slide, or connect pictures with colors, alignment, lines, etc. • White space: Leave plenty of empty space. Nobody likes to look at a zillion words on a slide.
Activity! • Form groups of 2 or 3 • EACH member of the group (with everyone’s help) create the WORST slide you can possibly create • As a group, create a master slide/style • EACH member of the group create one PERFECT slide, each with a different layout
