Jul 26, 2021
Glassmorphism is sometimes called the frosted, or virtual glass, look in UI design. The idea is to have a background-blur on an object, giving the impression of a frosted glass panel.

There are many ways to create this effect, but one of the quickest and easiest ways is to use the Shape Effects tool in PowerPoint to apply a Preset effect. View the short tutorial below.

Wow, what a great trick! Thanks for sharing this with the community, Tracy. :)
Thanks, Allison!
Tracy this is awesome! I have wasted far too much time in Photoshop trying to achieve this effect and abandoned it as the 'juice just wasn't worth the squeeze'.
Thanks for the great share!
That is a super cool trick, Tracy! And easy enough for everyone to create the same effect! Thanks for sharing how you did it!
Thanks, Niall and Sarah! I have Photoshop, but I always try to use PowerPoint first, because it's so much easier. PowerPoint is an underrated tool, I think. :)
Love this. What a great technique to share.
Thanks, Tracy!
Thanks so much! This a a quick and easy way to produce a great visual effect!
You're welcome, Mary!
You helped me so much! Thank you!
You're welcome, Craig!
So cool, Tracy! Thank you!
You're welcome, Irene!
That little gem right there! Thank you for this ✨
You’re welcome, Carol!
Thank you for your guide. I did a cool presentation thanks to you and your recommendations.
Did you think about an idea to create your own youtube channel with all your guides? I would follow you instantly :3
How to create fake 3D effect is also a good thing you might be interested in. It became my second feature of the presentation :3
Very nice Tracy!
I quite like this. Thanks for the tip. Photoshop Elements is my go-to program, but I do see that Powerpoint too offers a great deal of absolutely wonderful options. This was a gem.
eh thanks for that
Hi Francois,
If you have Articulate 360, then you have Presenter installed in whatever version of PowerPoint you have installed. Presenter is accessible in the PowerPoint ribbon. It's possible to create effective eLearning courses with Presenter, combined with Engage and Quizmaker, which are also included with Articulate 360. It's an alternative that some of my clients use, rather than Storyline 360.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial! I have been looking for something like this forever!
You're welcome, Louriann!
