  TheArtof the TitleSlide Image w/transparentbox Overlay image (w/black, transparent box over it) Components text box Download an image you would like to use Add your photo and expand to fit vertically (crop if needed) Add a box over the entire image/slide. Use white or black fill depending on the look you’re going for and set transparency to a level that makes the text readable and the image still visible (this sample uses 50% transparency – go to ’Shape Format’ then ‘Format Pane’ to get to transparency options). Add a text box for your title. Using unique fonts will help your message stand out. See the resources page at the end of this presentation for links to great free fonts.

  Top 10 Ways toGet Your ART out in the World Image w/transparent box Overlay image Components text box This sample also follows the same steps as the first example, but instead of putting a black box (w/50% transparency) over the entire image, we’ve made the box orange (37% transparency) and a bit smaller, so that it only covers a small part of the image so that the text stands out. We’ve also highlighted one word in the title by making it a different color. Did you notice on the previous slide (example 2), that we highlighted one word by using a contrasting font? box with transparent fill

  Top Vacation Cities YouNeed to Visit (before it’s too late) Image and text w/ corner accents image Components text boxes The basic of this slide are simple (full page image + title text), but we’ve added a small accent in the corners to add a little interest You can see from the outlines that there are four individual triangles in each corner. You can use any colors you want. Add a little transparency (optional). It’s ok that they hang a little off the slide because in presentation- mode, it will display only what’s on the slide. Did you notice that this is the same effect we use on our title slides? Tip: once you’ve created the look in one corner, group the items together (select all the items, right click, select ‘group’), then copy & paste the group, rotate, and put in the opposing corner. corner accents
