Is there a certain way to format images and shapes? I chose this topic because I never really knew there was a specific way to do so.
A whole process is needed to have a square or a circle shape instead of a rectangle or oval shape. Adding depth to your images, changing the color of your shape, and Smart-Art. Also, do you use shapes in any presentations or documents? I feel like they are needed more in flyers or artistic projects. Do graphic designers use shapes more often than we do? I like the options they give us to really decorate the shapes and images. Such as borders, outlines, and wrapping the images. I only used images and shapes in PowerPoint presentations because I felt as if they were more needed to give the presentation some effect. Other than that, I do not really use these effects as much unless I am creating a flyer.
I use picture style often :-)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many formatting options and functionalities that I am sure I have never used them all!
Take advantage of these formatting options and functionalities to add some creativity and elevate the professionalism of your document or slideshow :-)
I am not that creative but when I start added more shapes I feel like an artist showing off.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to add a shape border or frame to shape gives it more depth than a generic square or whatever you choose.
ReplyDeleteAll the different formatting options available really make you want to be creative.
ReplyDeleteSame, I tend to not play with it unless im in a project.
ReplyDeleteThe shapes and the different formatting are always available if you feel like being a bit creative.
ReplyDeleteWith short term attention at an all time high nowadays, who pays attention to the formatting or a pictures or shapes when looking at media on a computer or mobile device. For me, best place to see formatted pictures and shapes is down at the Fremont Street Light Experience.
ReplyDeleteI believe graphic designers utilize other softwares specific to them. I enjoy using these features when creating flyers/slideshows too!
ReplyDeleteI loved learning about formatting shapes and images. The formatting definitely helps content be more visually appealing rather than placing a regular square or image.
ReplyDeleteI was also amazed at the ability to have graphs in Excel to represent data. These graphs and modeling are much more intuitive to the data.
ReplyDeleteI also have only used images in power point before taking IS101. I knew it was a feature but never had to use it in a Word Document before.
ReplyDeleteFormatting shapes to create a picture with depth is truly an amazing ability.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school, I used to do research papers, and knowing that Microsoft could text-wrap an image would have been incredibly beneficial because it gives the document a neat appearance.
ReplyDeleteI really like the different options to get creative. It makes it feel less like work and more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteAll these shapes are great. I started using them in my spreadsheet.
ReplyDeleteUsing the right shape and positioning can make your presentation stand out. The unique feature I like using is the 3D shapes.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you can make custom shapes and modify them any way you want, add color, texture, gradient, etc. I do miss making customized cards, invitations and flyers. The modification options are endless.
