When it comes to text like name sentences and paragraphs the rule of thumb to remember is use as little
text as possible.
And this is valid for both actual PowerPoint presentations and videos that you will create with it if
you pay attention to good video content.
You'll see that there is almost no text at all.
And these slides are pretty ironic because I'm using text also.
There is a type of video design where you use animated blocks of text like this one which for everything
you say but it's not very useful.
It's not helpful to the viewer.
It just looks fancy and everything but the whole point of doing visuals is to show something that will
help the user understand the content.
In addition to what you're saying in your audio However there will obviously be some text like titles
subtitles numbers quotes and other things you just can't go without some little text here and there
but try to do as little as possible.
Now when you have to write something choosing a good font is as important as choosing the right color
combination.
Again don't pick a random fonts.
You can find great fonts on websites like Dutch font dot com.
We have already seen this one.
We used it in one of our projects.
Here we can search the type of font for example or you can also go on Google fonts.
Right.
So when you want to get a font you just click on plus here.
Then you get it here click here and you click this arrow download.
Right then it's just a winner while you open it.
And here you just double click on this file here and then install.
So this will install this font on your computer.
Sometimes you have variations of a font.
For example this font and then dash light dush medium dush bold etc..
So you have to install all those that you want to use in your videos.
However I don't know how you install fonts on Mac if you're on Mac but this doesn't matter I'm pretty
sure that it's very easy.
And finally in this resource here Google fonts is just the same as on dumbfound and some phones are
free but there are also paid ones.
So usually the best ones are paid.
Now the question is which phones to choose right.
Well it's not an obvious answer.
There are some guidelines but generally speaking at the end it really depends on your design choices.
Personally I don't think that Serrie fonts fit well with videos.
Sorry for all the fonts that have these little endings which make them look more handwritten.
So for a video first of all I advise you to use Sunseri fonts meaning all those which are like this.
Also I advise you to automatically forget about all the basic fonts like Colibri Times New Roman aerial
and others.
That's because they have been too overused and people unconsciously not is them which makes everything
look basic.
From here it's up to your taste and the topic of your video.
If it's something serious and informative you'll probably end up using traditional conservative phones
which are simple nothing fancy.
However for a video where I'm talking about advertising business and I use the term war as a metaphor
I use this font as a title because I think it fits well with the topic.
So clearly for videos it can be creative and choose the right fund that represents Well the topic.
Your video is all about.
It has to fit together.
You can choose a joyful or comic fund for a serious corporate presentation for example.
Be smart about it.
Go through PowerPoint fonts Google fonts and dumbfound and try out the ones you like.
What is almost more important than the funds themselves is the hierarchy of fonts.
So like I said you'll probably have names titles subtitles numbers quotes etc..
That's where you have to pick different fonts or a variant of one main font to mark the difference.
Marking the difference is extremely important for font hierarchy design.
If you want to learn more about how to arrange fonts I have a great resource for you which is free which
is conver design school
write so you go on Kanva dot com slash learn slash design.
So now that you're here you go down you click see all tutorials right.
And so here we have many absolutely great tutorials.
So you see branding lay out images skills in action advanced shapes and icons backgrounds color fonts.
Right.
So here you have fonts and then you just click on it and you go start to Tauriel.
Right.
So you will simply need to create an account here like was Facebook or Google or whatever it's completely
free.
And there are many many resources here to learn about design.
However this is general design right.
This is not design adapted to video.
But most of the concepts that you will learn here can actually be applied or transposed to video.
