Editing Outline Icons in PowerPoint

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide focuses on how to edit outline icons within the application. It provides three key editing aspects: Color, Thickness, and Size, ensuring that the icons can be customized to fit the presenter's needs.

• Color: Advises matching the icon outline color with branding and cautions against giving icons a color fill.
• Thickness: Emphasizes adjusting the line weight to ensure readability, indicating that too thick lines can render an icon unreadable.
• Size: Speaks to resizing icons proportionately by holding one of their corner nodes to maintain clarity and avoid distortion.

Graphical Look

• A large header with a dark teal background spans across the top of the slide, with the title "Editing Outline Icons in PowerPoint" displayed prominently in white text.
• The slide is divided into three main sections with the headers "Color," "Thickness," and "Size," placed within grey slanted banners.
• Each section has a pair of icons—one with a checkbox and one with a cross—denoting do's and don'ts. The icons are surrounded by a thin red stroke indicating emphasis.
• Below each pair of icons are screenshots demonstrating the PowerPoint interface related to the instruction, with key elements highlighted by a larger blue cursor icon.
• To the right side, there is a blue shaded area with text bullet points in white, summarizing the main actions: "Change outline color," "Modify outline thickness," and "Resize."
• A light teal pointer arrow points to a resizing handle on an icon in the "Size" section, precisely indicating the action to be performed.

The slide utilizes a clean and straightforward design with a professional color scheme. The usage of icons, screenshots, and visual cues like checkboxes and crosses convey the instructions in an easily understandable manner.
