you have added objects to your slides
presentation
but now it looks disorganized and
jumbled
how can you arrange the objects to make
it look more polished
google slides has tools to help you put
together a slide
with everything in its place to get
started we'll take a look at slide 5.
this slide has some photos overlapping
and one that is too
far apart from the others i want to
distribute the photos horizontally
which will make them no longer overlap
to select all the photos
shift-click each photo
then go to arrange distribute
horizontally with all the photos
selected
i want them to align themselves to their
bottom line
i'll accomplish this by going to arrange
align
bottom let's add a rectangle behind the
photos to make a background
first go to insert shape then hover over
shapes then select the rectangle
draw the rectangle around the photos
before the next step i'm going to make
the rectangle fit
the theme better by changing its color
to navy
as you can see the photos are hidden at
the moment because the rectangle is at
the forefront
putting objects in order means arranging
the layers on the slide
we need to move the rectangle back to
see the photos
go to arrange order
with the options available within order
you can decide what you want in the
background
and at the forefront let's see if send
backward would help the rectangle move
behind only one of the photos which is
not exactly what we want
let's try a different option i'll choose
send to back
the rectangle is behind all the photos
just like i wanted
i want to be able to move the objects
without having to make adjustments
every time to do so make sure the photos
in the rectangle are selected by holding
down the shift button
on your keyboard and clicking on them
now they are all selected go to arrange
group now i can move and resize them as
a group
there are too many objects on the slide
i don't think i need the photo in the
middle
i'll click on it and press delete on my
keyboard
the photo on the right needs to be
rotated with the photo selected go to
arrange
rotate rotate clockwise 90 degrees
now using the arrangement method shown
before i will clean up the slide using
the tools found in the arrange
drop down menu as well as use the sizing
handles
as you arrange objects on your slides
you'll notice that your presentation is
looking more organized
having a polished google slides
presentation with everything in its
place
helps the audience focus on the
information presented instead of slides
that distract from your message
