Hello all,
Last time I showed you how to make the desk-style Zoom effect
with Zoom in and Zoom out effects on the notebooks on the desk.
many of you are also very interested and ask me to guide you
to the other design ideas of Zoom effects,
which are Map Zoom and Zoom puzzle pieces.
As you can see, instead of making a slide
that summarizes the topics of the presentation in a boring way
you can design each piece of content as a jigsaw puzzle with an infographic-style icon
clicking on any puzzle will Zoom in a close-up to move to that content
and then Zoom Out back to the home page slide
Thus, the audience will always understand the system and structure of the presentation
First open the powerpoint file that you want to design the Zoom effect
For example, here I have a powerpoint presentation that already has content slides,
now you will insert an empty slide on the top to design the homepage slide like this
Continue, just Insert Shape, draws rectangles,
depending on how many sections or chapters the presentation contains,
you can draw as many rectangles
color the shapes and arrange them as a dashboard
What if you want to turn rectangles into puzzle pieces like this idea?
Let's analyze it, the characteristic of a jigsaw puzzle is that
it will have a seamless edge,
or it will have a concave rounded edge
or a rounded convex edge.
To create that convex or concave part of the puzzle piece,
it's very simple, Go to Insert Shape and draw a small circle,
randomly place the circle on whichever edge you want to make it convex or concave.
If you want to create an edge with a rounded concave,
then click in the following order: click on the rectangle, then hold down Cltr to click on the circle.
Click the Shape Format tab, select Merge Shape,
and then select Subtract to create the concave part.
If you want to create an edge with a protruding rounded part,
then click on the rectangle, then hold down Cltr and click on the circle.
Go to the Format Shape, select Merge Shape,
now you will choose Union to create the convex part
you do the same with the rest of the rectangles,
just place the circle on any edge
and create a concave with Subtract, create a convex with Union
At the end you will have a summary slide that introduces the structure
of the presentation with many pieces of the content puzzle.
Insert title boxes into each puzzle piece.
In each puzzle piece, we will decorate it with an icon representing the content of that part.
For example, in Part 1 is the content about pie chart data,
I will copy a chart image to the homepage,
reduce the size, place it in this puzzle to represent the content of Part 1.
Or for example, in the slide of Part 2,
I chose the column chart image to copy to the puzzle piece on the homepage
as the icon representing the content linking to Part 2
Do the same for the rest, you will have a slide dashboard interface like this.
However, if the content of your presentation
does not have charts, diagrams or infographics available to illustrate,
mostly just text, then you can use icons as representative icons.
Go to Insert and select Icons to open PowerPoint's available icon library,
select any icons, insert into slides,
change icons color or background color as you like.
If you can't find any icons that match your content in PowerPoint's available icons source,
you can refer to some free icons-specific websites that I suggest here to download and use.
That's it, the slide decoration is done according to the idea of ​​​​the effect
The next thing you need to do is divide the existing content slides into groups, called Sections.
For example, part 1 includes Slides 2, 3 and 4.
Place the mouse pointer between the homepage slide No. 1 and slide No. 2.
Right-click and select Add Section to separate.
You will name this Section Part 1 to make it easy to remember
Currently, I only created 3 content slides for each section
This is the end of part 1,
so I right-clicked on the middle of these 2 slides and chose Add Section, name this Section Part 2
Continue like that, separate and creating Sections Parts 3, 4, 5, 6...
Now, after dividing the sections, you return to the home page slide
Select Insert => select Zoom and select Section Zoom.
If you don't know why you choose Section Zoom rather than Slide Zoom,
please review my first video tutorial about the Zoom effect to better understand how the effect works.
You tick the created Sections and Insert them into the slide.
In Zoom Border select No Outline to delete the border lines.
Note, don't forget to tick Return to Zoom
so that after the end slide show of each Section
it will automatically return to the homepage slide.
Arrange the Zoom slides into the position of the relevant section
This is considered an image representing the link to each section,
and by default, it displays according to the first slide in that section
If you don't like it, you can completely change the image of Slide Zoom
by going to Zoom, selecting Change Image, and replacing the image
with another image file available on your computer,
from an online image with search keyword
or from Icon Library of Powerpoint
Why do I insert icons separately from the beginning
without waiting until this step to choose
that's because then you can only get the default black icons and can't change to other colors,
moreover use the icons available in PowerPoint's library not much variety either.
Actually, because we have designed it ourselves,
we do not need these Zoom slizes to display,
but we still need to keep its Zoom link.
The solution is to create a hidden zoom slide
go to Insert to draw a random Shape,
in Shape Outline, turn on the No Outline to remove shape border
in Shape Fill select More Fill Color,
increase Transparency to 100%,
to get a completely transparent shape like this
Right click on the shape and choose Save as Picture
name it invisible
and then select a folder on your computer to save it
Then now for these Zoom slides to be hidden but still work,
then you choose Zoom, Change Image
select From a File and select the transparent image named "invisible" you just saved.
So the Zoom slide has been hidden,
You do the same for the remaining Zoom slides.
Because the Zoom slides are transparent, they can be resized to any size.
Now try it out in slide show mode,
as you can see we can still perform the Zoom effect as usual.
You can apply this Zoom effect to a lot of different ideas.
For example, these are presentation slides with a geographic theme, the homepage slide is a world map.
You can choose Insert, select Section Zoom,
and insert content slides that have been divided into Sections by continent
With each inserted Zoom slide,
remember to click Zoom Border and No Outline to delete the frame border
turn on "Return to Zoom" option
Continue to Change Image,
change the image from the file available on the computer
and select the hidden invisible image file saved as in the previous example
After making the remaining Zoom slides transparent as the instructions just guided
we will have an effect like this,
clicking on any continent on the world map
will be moved by Zoom In to the specific content slide of that continent
after presenting the content of that continent
Zoom Out again returns to the world map slide
and then Zoom in to another continent....
As you can see, there are many other ideas,
for example, with slides about the process, structure, member introduction ...
that you can apply the Zoom effect to make the presentation not only lively,
but also structured, easier to follow for the viewer.
let's try it, thank you and see you next time
