Develop Leadership Skills, a comic book scenario-based course template -

I started this demo by leveraging Paul Alders' PowerPoint template, which you can download here: https://community.articulate.com/download/powerpoint-comic-strip-template
I changed the colors on the slide master backgrounds, using PowerPoint's picture tools. (I thought it would be quicker and easier than it was, because I thought the backgrounds were shapes rather than pictures! So, I'm not sure I actually saved myself much time in this process.)
I replaced the fonts to some I already had on my computer, and decided to go with photographic images, rather than cartoons. I altered the photographic characters using PowerPoint's artistic effects. Then, I included some office backgrounds, altered again with PowerPoint's artistic effects tools.

- JaneMagness6 years agoCommunity MemberHi Tracy,
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love this-the colors you chose keep it lively. Question-how do you get the background to take up the full screen size? When I create Articulate Storyline courses, mine always come out much smaller. I've noticed that pros like you have some "secret" that allows you to go big.
Thank you for sharing!- TracyCarroll6 years agoCommunity MemberThank you, Jane!
When you edit the Storyline player, you can choose to either lock the player at the optimal size (smaller), or scale the player to fill the browser window. Locking the player at the smaller size is the default setting for the classic player. The choice is kind of hidden--you have to click on "Other" on the player editing ribbon to see the choice, and make your Player Size selection.- JaneMagness6 years agoCommunity MemberThank you-very helpful!
