Wordle

Dave that looks Awesome! That arrow graphic made me think more about how this effect could be used for navigation or module summary. What if you had used two arrows: one pointing forward and one backward? The forward arrow would show a word cloud of "what's coming" and the backward arrow showed "what's been covered"?

BTW, how did you get the perspective effect with the arrow?

Hello,

An embarassing thanks David, as this was just knocked up in 5 minutes.

For the arrow perspective I used a preset in Power Point.

Picture Tools>>Format>>Picture Effects>>Preset>>Preset 9

I used 'grouping' to have the owl logo ride along with the effect.

I have attached the 1 slide PP for your perursal

When I hone this in, I will post another.

Cheers,

Dave

I didn't know how you changed the perspective... guess I never played with that much so thanks!

And thank you for sharing your file with the community!

David I thought you did a screenr on shape fill with picture.Nothing too difficult too do. In fact here is one I did in about 1 minute with shape format.

Hey James! Yeah, the thing I didn't get was how Dave rotated the arrow using perspective. It's funny because I knew about those features but never used them for single objects like that... guess it was more out of context from how I normally work.

Guess I should start playing with those features some more

I just grabbed a default and applied it and what I have seen beginning in pptx 2007 you can 3D rotate the image. You just right click on the image and then modify the 3d rotations or you can apply the defaults from the format tab. I actually have found you can apply shape effects to images and text and you can get some pretty cool effects.

What he said......

That was fun!

That Wordle into image is a brilliant idea Dave - I use Wordle a lot, but I never thought of using it that way - LOVELY, (and a great colour scheme for the Wordle as well...)
