Today, this article will share with you 4 picture design details to pay attention to when making POWERPOINT. It is very basic, but it is very important.
Pictures are extremely important elements in visual expression, and can be used in powerpoint design in various forms such as cropping, arrangement and combination.
Why do we all like to use pictures?
1) From the design point of view, using pictures on pages with only text can enrich the layout of pictures and texts and make the pages no longer monotonous.
2) From the perspective of communication, if the picture itself fits the theme of the speech, it will help convey intuitive information and improve the communication efficiency between the speaker and the audience.
3) From an aesthetic point of view, good quality pictures can easily support the powerpoint design, thereby enhancing the visual effect.
However, after many people use pictures, the effect is not ideal, why?
In fact, it is because of the size, position, orientation, alignment and many other small details of the picture that affect the overall visual effect!
And there’s a good chance you’re ignoring these issues.
– Deformation Is Severe
Pictures are stretched or squashed, losing their original proportions and becoming less beautiful.
I still remember that a few years ago, when the set-top box entered the countryside, the original 4:3 TV picture was abruptly pulled to 16:9. At that time, Yao Ming became “short” and Guo Jingming became “fat”. The picture looks like Very uncomfortable.
Ensuring that the image is not deformed is the first principle we use when using images. When adjusting the size of the picture, only operate on the four corners of the picture, and at the same time, hold down the [Shift] key to zoom in and out according to the length and width. If you find that the size of the picture is not suitable, you can crop the picture.
In addition to this, it is also important to ensure the clarity of the picture. First, look for pictures with high resolution; second, use too many artistic effects that will distort the picture. Because no matter how well-designed the pictures are, they can’t control the excessive artistic effect.
– Not Uniform In Size
The first case is that the size of the image itself is not uniform. For example, on the product introduction page in the picture below, the sizes of the three car pictures are not uniform, and they are not aligned, so the messy feeling looks unprofessional.
And using the picture cropping function, you can crop the picture to a consistent size and align it well. The effect is much better immediately.
However, do you still feel strange?
Yes, this leads to the second case, the size of the main body in the picture is not uniform. In this case, the three cars are of different sizes, and there is a sense of incongruity, so continue to crop the pictures to make them the same size.
Look, the effect after unification is great, isn’t it?
– Incomplete Cropping
What are the precautions for image cropping?
The main point is that the cropped character should be cropped completely. A very typical case, processing the pictures of the leader’s inspection and cropping out irrelevant passers-by. However, if the passerby is cut in half, it will be counterproductive, and the viewer’s attention will be focused on half of the passerby.
So, either crop it clean, or leave it intact.
Also, it’s important to avoid cropping at any of the character’s joints. “Broken hand and head” looks really, really weird!
– Incorrect Orientation
Can you point out what is wrong in POWERPOINT on the next page? Do you think that you will automatically look to the upper left corner?
Yes, the problem is that there is a problem with the placement of the character pictures. It’s a lot more comfortable to change the position. Why?
It is often used to guide a person’s reading line of sight because of the direction of the eyes on t he face. Curiosity drives us to want to see what “she” is looking at. Directing the eye to the title just highlights the core point of the slides on this page and asks questions.
In the same way, the body orientation of the character can also be used to guide the line of sight. Generally, the text content is placed on the side facing the character, and there is an echo relationship.
Finally, review the four questions we talked about today. Have you ever been shot?
The details are small but crucial. When we do powerpoint training, don’t always think about making high-quality effects, but use pictures reasonably to ensure that there are no mistakes, and then make POWERPOINT as beautiful as possible.
