Artistic Clip Art
Update! Download examples at the end ! The 2007 Difference!
Why?
Use PowerPoint's native Clip Art features to blend in new
colors and lines.
From this to this!
Or from this to this!
Sometimes you can insert Clip Art into PowerPoint, and it looks a bit
boring. But there are some really cool effects that can be done with
Clip Art by ungrouping them.
First we commence by inserting some Clip Art .
We then proceed to ungroup the object. With the object
selected, the keyboard shortcut for this is <Control + g>. You will get
this box. Actually, I only started getting this when I applied Service
Pack 2 to PowerPoint 2003. Anyway, you allow it to Ungroup, and then
Ungroup it a second time. You will then get all of the individual,
vector objects.
Notice we now have the object broken up into a number of
separate objects. One thing that we will have to do is to find a box
that is transparent that covers the whole object and delete it. It is
the transparent frame that the original art was held within.
With all of the objects selected we can change the line
color to something such as yellow ...
or red...
or even the line thickness...
To 3 points.
Best of all, we can make the objects to 3d!
But don't make the depth too great of it will look
strange. This example was set to five points of depth. Very nice!
Imagine if you have an image with yellow colored lines replaced, with a
Fade animation, into red lines!
By the way, you can recolor Clip Art through the Format
Properties dialogue box when you right click on any inserted Clip Art:
Oh, and what about changing the transparency level? Nice pastel
shades!!!
