Magazine Cutout Example
Dec 13, 2011
I was hoping to just add this example to an existing thread, but I couldn't seem to find one. Feel free to move, if it applies better somewhere else.
Anyway, I used a combination of tools for this course on office dress code, including David Anderson's tutorial on making magazine cutouts and Tom Kuhlmann's tutorial on filling shapes with textures.
Thanks, as always, for the great ideas!
The course isn't complete yet, but here's a screen shot that hopefully gives you some more ideas for your own projects!
This was created entirely in PowerPoint except for the pictures of clothes, mirror frame, and avatar, which were stock photo purchases.
Elements
Dresser and floor--slightly transparent shapes filled with wood grain over shapes filled with dark brown
Mirror--shape filled with gradient
Buttons--Outlined in white with bevel shape effects
Home button--clip art, recolored in PPT
Baseboard--filled rectangles with bevel shape effects
Hangars--shapes with outlines only, 3D effects
Rod--shapes with bevel and shadow effects
Arrows--downloaded from this site! Thanks!
My final tip is to create a PPT solely for your design elements and then save the graphics as PNGs for use in your course. I've seen this tip in a number of tutorials (e.g., here), and it has been so helpful!
Thanks for letting me share!

That looks really great! Love the idea of using a closet/dressing room!
Thanks!
Oh my gosh that looks great, Rebekah! It's visually stunning and it looks like a great interaction. Thank you so much for sharing your project.
Nice. It has real rich look.

I only have one question: are pumps required for business casual? :p
Seriously, and only *slightly* off topic: people's interpretation of business casual REALLY needs some direction. I worked at a place once where people would come with cutoffs, pajama pants, etc. WHAT are these people thinking????
ROTFL - That would make a great topic for a Tumblr site!
Brilliant.
Love your style here. Great execution of the technique!!
Great idea and inspiration sources. I like the simplicity of the slide and nice, tidy looking graphics.
Nice work. Eyecatching course graphics!
