1 1 00:00:00,102 --> 00:00:03,102 (upbeat rock music) 2 2 00:00:04,424 --> 00:00:07,000 Let's use PowerPoint now to create 3 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,860 line:15% a thumbnail image using the opposites colors 4 4 00:00:09,860 --> 00:00:11,340 line:15% from the color wheel. 5 5 00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:13,930 line:15% So the first thing we do is open up PowerPoint, 6 6 00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:15,896 line:15% make a new file obviously, 7 7 00:00:15,896 --> 00:00:20,896 line:15% and then what you do is make sure it's in 16x9 format, 8 8 00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:24,490 which is the same thing as saying 1280x720, 9 9 00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:26,563 and the way to do that is just go to design, 10 10 00:00:26,563 --> 00:00:29,693 and then here go to slide size, 16x9. 11 11 00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:36,020 And then let's select this, hold down shift, select this 12 12 00:00:36,020 --> 00:00:38,615 and delete it so you have an empty palette here to use. 13 13 00:00:38,615 --> 00:00:40,710 So, what we're gonna do now is, 14 14 00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:43,037 I want to insert the color wheel. 15 15 00:00:43,037 --> 00:00:45,310 And we're not gonna show the color wheel 16 16 00:00:45,310 --> 00:00:46,621 in the final product, 17 17 00:00:46,621 --> 00:00:48,380 but I still want it to be there 18 18 00:00:48,380 --> 00:00:51,660 because I want us to be able to pick colors from it. 19 19 00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:54,523 So let's grab this here, I call it, our color wheel. 20 20 00:00:56,349 --> 00:00:57,730 Great. 21 21 00:00:57,730 --> 00:01:00,298 And I'll move it here, just a little bit out of the way. 22 22 00:01:00,298 --> 00:01:02,170 And what we're gonna do is, 23 23 00:01:02,170 --> 00:01:04,000 we're gonna make a background that's yellow. 24 24 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,213 So let me zoom out a little bit here. 25 25 00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:09,070 I'm gonna go, insert 26 26 00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:11,463 and I'm actually gonna insert just a shape. 27 27 00:01:13,336 --> 00:01:16,210 And I'll make it bigger than the background, 28 28 00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:17,043 just slightly bigger. 29 29 00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:19,881 It doesn't matter though because when we export this image, 30 30 00:01:19,881 --> 00:01:22,040 so we can upload to PowerPoint, 31 31 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,320 it's actually only gonna take the white area you see there, 32 32 00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:26,153 not the outside. 33 33 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,930 Okay. 34 34 00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:33,453 So, I'm gonna right-click and I'm gonna send it to back. 35 35 00:01:34,433 --> 00:01:37,763 And I want the color of this to actually be yellow. 36 36 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,293 So what I'll do is I'll go up here to shape fill, 37 37 00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:44,970 then I'll select more fill colors, 38 38 00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:46,180 I could select that if I wanted to, 39 39 00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:48,180 but I wanna grab it from my color wheel. 40 40 00:01:49,885 --> 00:01:54,885 Then I'm gonna use the teardrop here, pick it, okay. 41 41 00:01:56,380 --> 00:01:57,680 Great. 42 42 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,350 Now I wanna create text that's purple, 43 43 00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:02,520 because it's an opposite color from yellow, 44 44 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,170 and has a nice pop effect to it. 45 45 00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:07,886 So what I'll do is I'll go here to text box, 46 46 00:02:07,886 --> 00:02:10,423 and I'll insert text here. 47 47 00:02:11,570 --> 00:02:14,493 And I'll call this, and I'll put it all in caps as always, 48 48 00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:20,330 Five Reasons Why You Must Vlog Today. 49 49 00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:28,520 Select all, 50 50 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,490 and then what I'll do is I'll actually go over here to home, 51 51 00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:35,360 and I'm actually going to center it. 52 52 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,270 Then I'm gonna make it a lot bigger. 53 53 00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:41,740 And, the way you do that is you select all the items here, 54 54 00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:44,330 select all, and then you just make it bigger. 55 55 00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:46,433 Let's see what happens at 96. 56 56 00:02:47,441 --> 00:02:49,466 That's a little bit, 57 57 00:02:49,466 --> 00:02:51,490 I haven't spread the words out properly. 58 58 00:02:51,490 --> 00:02:53,460 Lemme just drag this over a touch. 59 59 00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:54,520 Okay, good. 60 60 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,720 And I'll make it bigger than that. 61 61 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,283 I wanna go as big as I can. 62 62 00:02:58,321 --> 00:03:01,333 Okay, and let's actually drag this over here. 63 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,080 That's good. 64 64 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,490 Okay, great. 65 65 00:03:07,490 --> 00:03:09,580 And I'm gonna make the color of this purple, 66 66 00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:13,300 and then we'll get rid of this little wheel here. 67 67 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:15,756 But what I'll do is I'm gonna provide you with the file, 68 68 00:03:15,756 --> 00:03:19,953 all files actually, whenever I create these lessons, 69 69 00:03:19,953 --> 00:03:23,040 and I'll just keep this outside here, 70 70 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,060 so that when we create this screen print here, 71 71 00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:30,200 or this thumbnail image, this won't be shown. 72 72 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,946 Now, I'm gonna select the color purple here. 73 73 00:03:32,946 --> 00:03:35,180 And so for the color here, 74 74 00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:37,603 I'm gonna go here to more colors, 75 75 00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:41,443 and I'm gonna use this and grab it from here. 76 76 00:03:42,910 --> 00:03:44,190 Okay, good. 77 77 00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:46,340 Now, I don't like that font, I love Helvetica. 78 78 00:03:46,340 --> 00:03:47,673 So lemme select Helvetica. 79 79 00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:53,153 Okay, good. 80 80 00:03:53,153 --> 00:03:56,050 And I'll have to make it a little bit smaller. 81 81 00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:58,650 Okay good, I like that, I like that. 82 82 00:03:58,650 --> 00:04:01,150 All right, let's jazz this up a bit more. 83 83 00:04:01,150 --> 00:04:03,396 So, lemme make it bold. 84 84 00:04:03,396 --> 00:04:07,364 It looks a bit stale, I wanna add more dimensions to it. 85 85 00:04:07,364 --> 00:04:09,070 So, I'm gonna right-click, 86 86 00:04:09,070 --> 00:04:10,770 and I'm gonna select format shape. 87 87 00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:14,473 Then what I can do is select text options here. 88 88 00:04:15,779 --> 00:04:19,713 Then here, 3-D and 3-D Format. 89 89 00:04:20,675 --> 00:04:23,554 And I'll select here, top bevel 90 90 00:04:23,554 --> 00:04:26,040 and I'll just play around with it until it pops slightly. 91 91 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,830 And that's a very very slight pop to it 92 92 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:30,478 but I like that, it looks actually much more professional. 93 93 00:04:30,478 --> 00:04:33,080 And then what you can do if you want to is 94 94 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,233 you can add a shadow. 95 95 00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:38,050 And you can make the size of the shadow 96 96 00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:40,373 very big or very small if you want to. 97 97 00:04:41,650 --> 00:04:43,520 It's actually a little tricky to get it perfect 98 98 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,353 here in PowerPoint. 99 99 00:04:44,353 --> 00:04:47,930 I find it easier to add shadows in Photoshop. 100 100 00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:50,010 But if you wanted to, you could make 101 101 00:04:50,010 --> 00:04:52,161 the shadow bigger, like that, 102 102 00:04:52,161 --> 00:04:56,620 and then you can have it slightly over to one side 103 103 00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:58,890 if you want to, okay. 104 104 00:04:58,890 --> 00:05:01,450 I like to make it a little bit less transparent 105 105 00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:07,180 and then you can actually have it at a slight distance away, 106 106 00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:10,503 very slightly though. 107 107 00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:14,510 And then the angle, you can change it as well, 108 108 00:05:14,510 --> 00:05:16,230 very very slightly. 109 109 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:18,163 Don't overuse shadows though. 110 110 00:05:19,460 --> 00:05:21,920 I prefer to use 3-D pop instead of shadow, 111 111 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,223 it just looks more clean. 112 112 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:24,913 Okay. 113 113 00:05:24,913 --> 00:05:26,940 I'm gonna make this a little bit less transparent. 114 114 00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:33,623 That's good. 115 115 00:05:33,623 --> 00:05:34,855 Okay, great. 116 116 00:05:34,855 --> 00:05:36,140 Now what we're gonna do is 117 117 00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:37,900 we're gonna create an image out of this 118 118 00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:41,250 so we can upload that image directly to YouTube. 119 119 00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:44,993 So you go here to File, Export. 120 120 00:05:47,953 --> 00:05:52,953 And then you wanna select JPEG, or you can even select PNG. 121 121 00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:56,453 I like JPEG, it's smaller than PNG. 122 122 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,587 And then it's gonna ask you, 123 123 00:05:59,587 --> 00:06:02,420 "what do you want the parameters to be?" 124 124 00:06:02,420 --> 00:06:05,610 Well, we know that 1280x720 is what we want, 125 125 00:06:05,610 --> 00:06:07,560 which is the same ratio as this. 126 126 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,290 Watch this when I change to 1280. 127 127 00:06:10,290 --> 00:06:11,370 720. 128 128 00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:13,610 Okay, so we made it even bigger. 129 129 00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:15,970 And you usually want to make it as big as you can, 130 130 00:06:15,970 --> 00:06:18,683 so that it stays just under two megabytes. 131 131 00:06:19,529 --> 00:06:24,529 Okay, so now I'm gonna export this as color wheel JPG. 132 132 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,580 And I'm gonna go now and check out the size of that file 133 133 00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:33,970 to see if it's less than two megabytes, 134 134 00:06:33,970 --> 00:06:35,080 which it definitely will be, 135 135 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,330 because this is just text, there's no images. 136 136 00:06:40,425 --> 00:06:41,473 All right. 137 137 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,806 And we just created this file here, called Slide 1, 138 138 00:06:46,806 --> 00:06:49,794 and the size is 124 kilobytes. 139 139 00:06:49,794 --> 00:06:52,303 Let's open it up and check it out. 140 140 00:06:54,342 --> 00:06:56,400 And that looks great, that looks great. 141 141 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,660 Okay, and as always, 142 142 00:06:57,660 --> 00:07:01,615 I attach all the individual files I discuss to the lecture 143 143 00:07:01,615 --> 00:07:03,990 in the lecture that I'm discussing. 144 144 00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:05,570 So, all these files are attached. 145 145 00:07:05,570 --> 00:07:07,970 If you have any additional questions, please let me know. 146 146 00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:08,803 Thanks.
