Building graphics

Hi there Tamara! You posted in exactly the right place, so no worries about that! Plus we aren't very fussy about that sort of thing anyway.

Regarding your TV graphic - I wonder if it would help to use this as a starting point: http://community.articulate.com/downloads/p/718.aspx

Thanks Jeanette - that is helpful!

HI Tamara,

I have been messing about with PPT graphic and have been having lots of fun!

I would strongly suggest trying out the 3D options like bevel. Increase the bevel to add depth to an object.

I like to use the all around shadow.

Also it is all in the layers.

Hi Tamara,

you can also use transparent shapes on top to give highlights - or even gradient fills, combined with transparency for more sophisticated effects.

& edit points & make curvy/bouncy shapes

Hey all, thanks again for your detailed responses! A little late in passing on the feedback, but feel free to have a look at the final result!

(Had a go at building my own version of the screen at the link Jeannette provided, and then applied some of what that taught me.)

Tamara!! Nice work there! Thanks so much for sharing!

I like how you made the background interesting but not distracting. And cool that the learner can always get back to the main menu any time.

Thank you! As you can see from the initial efforts I was pretty stuck before coming on here, really appreciated the help

I really like the visual style. Very nice!

That looks brilliant Tamara - I love it! I'm going to try a similar thing with the monitor downloads here.

I am feeling inspired

Wow that is really nice graphics and like the animation of the TVs dropping in and then remaining in the lower corner. 

Have you checked a clipart database on Office Online? You can often dowload them and ungroup or just copy the effects.
