    1. Visualization, Don't let the audience focus on reading
    2. White space, don't clutter, make spacious, less is more
    3. Instant design ideas of office 365
    4. Scalable vector graphics: careful resizing, use SVG over jpg to avoid pixelation
    5. Apply rule of third: (my personal favourite)3 vertical and horizontal lines intersect and make the power points, elements should be placed on these points

      I agree, these video tips alone helped me finish editing a large project I was having some issues with. I love the way she makes it so easy to understand. I'm somewhat new to PowerPoint and the whole Microsoft suite premium so these tips have been incredibly helpful not just in ppt but throughout all the programs! Thank you Leila for sharing your wisdom to help us little people excel in the field :-)

    Love the simplicity of your video.. Your channel is my go-to for Microsoft Office tutorials. The Design Ideas feature is the most common element I use in PowerPoint. I also use the Variants section to change the colors and create section breaks between slides to use different themes/variants within the same presentation. Rule of Thirds will take it to the next level.

    Leila, After watching the section on the rule of thirds, I created the lines and powerpoints on a slide, copied, and pasted as a picture. Now, I can use the picture as a background to quickly toggle on, then off my background for design work.

    Leila ur videos r extremely powerful and useful. I noticed that at 5:00 mins u said that the color of some objects of slide design can't be changed. Well it can be changed by going to "selection pane". In thr selection pane u ll find the object or shape, then by changing the shape color it can be changed.

    Great training. I have been using 1 through 4, and learned 5, I did not about the rule. Looking forward to use it next time. Design ideas and MS PPT icons have been my "best secrets" for my slides. I got a lot of compliments and people think there is a lot of work on them when is actually Office working for you. Is because they look so nice and appealing to the eyes. I need to learn more about "less is more" probably choose 1 or 2 words vs a short phrase to show a key point. thank you. I always learn something valuable in your channel.

    @johnmaher3558 2 года назад

    Super video. So useful.
    I notice you are using 2 cameras. I’d like you to think about that for a moment.
    On the main camera, you are talking to the viewer. You address the viewer as an individual, adopting a warm, relaxed, conversational tone. This is great. Person to camera PTC.
    But the second camera is catching you at an angle. You are no longer PTC. You are addressing someone else… and the viewer has become briefly an eavesdropper.
    There are good solid reasons why broadcast television keeps a clear separation between PTC and 2 cameras in an interview. Switching to an eavesdropping camera angle briefly fractures the intimate relationship you have established with the viewer.
    You’re not the only one to use this on YT. But I don’t think you would ever see 2 cameras used in broadcast television where the presenter (or newsreader) is direct addressing the viewer.

    What makes these 5 tips so beneficial isn't necessarily the tips themselves. The examples that illustrate the design idea accompanied by a clear and concise explanation of the reason why the tip makes a better designed slide.
    So with all do respect, I have to call COMPLETE BS on one fact that was presented. Ms Gharani your skills when it comes to designing a slide presentation should not be characterized as poor.
    A Big Thank You to Skillshare for their role in helping make these videos possible.
