In this lecture..! We are going to "Design the Slide Layout for Process Flow Slide
Designs". To create a slide layout, let's go to 'View' and then 'Slide Master'. Here
you can find, a lot of slide layouts including the one, which we have created
in the previous section i.e., 4 Point Slides section. Now, in this section,
we are going to create another layout for the slides that we are going to
design and animate in this section. These slides are called 'Process Flow Slides'. So,
to create a new layout, click on 'Insert Layout' button, under the 'Slide Master" tab.
Let me 'Select' and DELETE, this title placeholder. And..! I'm going to insert a
LOGO which is going to be a different version of the logo that we have used in
the previous section. So, let me go to "Insert", "Shapes" and click on the "Triangle"
and draw a triangle, holding "Shift" key like this. And change the "Shape Fill" to
"No Fill" and "Rotate" it by '90 degree'. Now, let me take one more copy of it, increase
the 'Size', using "Shift" key and then place it like this.
Now, let me 'Select' both of them, press "Ctrl G" to group them together and change
the "Shape Outline" to this 'Indigo color'.
Now, I'm going to 'Resize' them together, by holding "Shift"
key, to maintain the aspect ratio and then place them here.
Now, I'm going to insert a title placeholder instead of a fixed title
like this. For that, you need to go to "Insert Placeholder" and select "Text". Now,
let me draw a placeholder here and let me DELETE all the contents of this
placeholder. Go to "Home" and 'Remove' the "Styling Options" i.e., the bullets and
make it 'Center Aligned'. Let me change the 'Title' to "Business Process Flow".
Now, selecting this text placeholder, I'm going to change the "Font" to "Montserrat
Medium"
and change the "Font Size" to '44' and also increase the 'Character Spacing' to "Very
Loose". Let me change the color of this "Text" to this "Indigo" color. It's a bit
different to black but it's not entirely black. So, coming to the text alignment,
let it be in the 'Middle". That's it..! We have created the text placeholder. And..!
Whatever the text that you enter into this 'Headline Text Holder', doesn't matter
because whenever the user uses this layout and clicks on this 'Title', it will
be "Empty" for them, to enter their "Own Title". You will see that in action when
we use this layout in our slides. So, as usual..! Now, I wish to add a
"Horizontal Line" like this. So, let me go to "Insert", "Shapes" & take a simple "Line".
Holding "Shift" key, I'm going to draw a line like this and change the 'Color' to
this "Indigo Lighter, 40%". Also, I'm going to change 'the Weightage or the Thickness'.
For that, I'm going to expand 'Format Shape' and increase the 'Width' to '2
points'. So, let me add some effects called "Shadow". Let it be "Bottom Right Shadow" and
let me close this. Now, we need to add a "Subtitle Placeholder". So, repeat
the process, go to "Insert Placeholder" and take the "Text". 'Draw' the placeholder here,
'Remove' the text, "Format" it to "Center", change the "font" to "Lato Light",
& the "Font size" to "14.5" and then 'Remove' the bullets. And..! Let me type your
extraordinary subtitle here.
Now, let me
change the 'Color' to this "Lighter, 40%" and increase the "Spacing" to "Loose". Now, I'm
going to 'Re-arrange or Re-size' these headings, the line and the subtitle. Let
me 'Select' all these three, go to "Arrange", "Align", "Align to Slide" and then "Align"
them "Center". We can even move them a bit up.
& move this LOGO, a bit up too. Now, we are going to "Design
this Slide Number". Let me go to "Drawing Tools Format" tab, after selecting this
'Slide Number Field' and choose this preset.
You can choose any of them based on your color preference. But let me change the
"Shape Fill" to this "Indigo, lighter 60%". Now, I'm going to change the shape. Let me go
to "Edit Shapes" under "Drawing Tools Format Shape" and change the 'Shape" to
this "Parallelogram". That's it..! Now, let me add the "Shape Outline", to "White" or a bit
"Grays". With this, we have completed "Designing this Slide Layout". In the next
lecture..! We are going to "Animate this Slide Layout" for Our "Process Flow Slides".
