With the popularity of PPT, we have higher and higher requirements for PPT, which is now not only as simple as layout.

We began to add design elements and design skills in PPT production.

For example, traversal effects, text slicing, glitch effects, etc., are also becoming more and more common in PPT design.

Many PPT design works, often give people a feeling: "Wow, this is actually done with PPT?"

So, what are the more advanced techniques in slide design, comparable to PS? I summarized 7 of them and share them with you.

1, text masking effect

The text interspersed effect is a common technique in poster design, which we can see on some offline posters.

Using some pictures with special features, together with the text interspersed effect, can enhance the layering and spatial sense of the whole picture.

Inspired by the poster of the movie "Genius Snatcher"

This is the design of text crossing, which is now also widely used in PPT design.

For example, the following piece of work, which is made in PPT, is used to show the process of urbanization, and we used the text traversal effect to make the whole PPT according to the sense of hierarchy.

And the example below, doesn't it look awesome.

So this effect, with PPT how to make it? Here, we need to use the PPT in the two skills, one called Boolean, one called any polygon.

Boolean operations refers to the union of shapes, intersection, subtraction, and other logical operations in order to make simple combinations of basic shapes to produce a new form.

PPT has a Boolean operation is the format of the merge shape

As an example, we selected two shapes.

Click on cut and you get this shape.

So in theory we can get any clipping shape we want as long as the two base shapes fit.

Any Polygon is a tool for drawing lines under the Shape tool, we can use it to draw simple shapes that can be turned into vector shapes as long as the lines are closed back and forth.

So now I specifically look at the following picture, with PPT how to make?

Carefully analyze, you will find that the main city, into the program three words are blocked by the front of the building.

So, our key step is to insert in the PPT - Shape - find any polygon along the floor to draw the blocking part. The finer the drawing, the better the penetration effect will be.

After drawing the outline around the shape, select the background image and draw the shape of the Boolean operation in the intersection operation, you can get a blocking text of the building.

A few other obscured places, using the same method can also be obtained.

2, the text separation effect

The text separation effect is also a common technique in poster design, we can often see in some designs.

This method, which has now appeared in the PPT design, the previous article, we have used such a case.

The specific approach is also relatively simple, first split some English into individual letters, or a sentence, split into single words, or a single word split into different strokes. The main function is to play the effect of modifying the page.

Then set the transparency of the fill color of these words.

3, brush effect

Our PPT pictures are usually regular graphics, either rectangular or round, with more than one will appear somewhat monotonous.

And fill the picture with brushes, it can be a good solution to this problem.

The production is also very simple, is through the AI software, cancel the grouping, export some brush material, or go directly to the site to download.

Then import these materials into the PPT, fill the picture through the shape, you can create a brush effect of the picture.

Fill is very simple, directly select the material, fill as a picture can be.

4, three-dimensional three-dimensional word

In PPT, there is a text and picture effect, called three-dimensional rotation, he can make our elements more number into the specific use of the scene.

For example, we will "2018, practicing the plan, to achieve the goal" this few words for a three-dimensional rotation, you can integrate the text into the specific picture.

It's like writing the words on the road.

You can look at the specific interface, select the text box, right-click to set the shape format, in the text effect options, we find the perspective - loose, and then set the size of the perspective angle and the size of the Y axis.

Specifically, you can look at the following specific steps.

5, picture filler word effect

Picture filler word, but also to improve the visual effect of the PPT a design technique.

That is, the text will be filled with pictures, in order to improve the visual presentation of the text. For example, in the case below, the letters "IDG" are filled with pictures.

How do you make them?

The production: first select the text in the text box, and then right-click, click on Set Shape Format, in the text options, we choose the text to fill, and then click on the picture to fill, find a suitable picture to fill in on it.

Specifically, you can see the moving picture.

This method is more common in the production of PPT now.

For example, the following page of this slide, want to express the World Cup, the text will be filled with lawn, it seems to be more graphic, the visual effect is also better.

6, text split effect

PPT text can also be split, split the text can be creative design.

For example, the following case, we want to reflect the two sides of things, we have done in the text of the "foot", the upper part and the lower part of the split, with two diametrically opposed things instead.

For example, in the upper part, I filled with sunshine; in the lower part, I filled with rain. This way we can better reflect the theme of the text.

To do this, the subtraction and division operations of Boolean operations are used.

Type the text first, then insert the shape, select the text box first, then select the shape at the same time, and finally click on Subtract under Merge Shapes to get the top half.

You can see it in action.

7, gradient hidden word effect

This is a way to improve the design of the text expression, the main use of the text box is a gradient fill.

Like the following case, we can see that the "intelligent parking system" six words using the hidden word effect.

Operation: Split Smart Parking System into single words, then select the text, use the gradient fill of the text, and set one end of the gradient aperture to 100% transparency, you can form a gradient effect.

Specifically, you can look at the moving picture.

That's all for today, hope you like it.
