As you sign this course icons are extremely useful for design and video design.
There are tons of icons out there and you can find exactly those that you need.
So I already talked to you about the Noun Project.
And personally I think that they have the most extensive database of icons.
You can literally find any icons that you want here but there are also other sources.
For example PowerPoint itself has Aitken's
when you go and insert you simply click here icons.
And you can already see some pretty good ones.
But of course the number of icons that you find here is very limited compared to the Noun Project but
still you can have some here.
Another interesting resource is called font awesome.
So you go here.
Awesome.
Then you click here and download and you take off forms.
Awesome four because I guess you have to pay for the latest one.
Maybe not.
I don't know.
And then you install it just like you install a font see here funds and then you install this one awesome
web funded that.
And what's really interesting about it is that then you have it inside PowerPoint.
For example let's write something.
I already have this font installed.
It's called fun.
Awesome.
Here font.
Awesome.
But obviously this doesn't look like anything.
So to find the right icons you need to go back on their website and hearing you find the cheat sheet.
But honestly I don't even know where to click to find it so let me go through Google.
It will be easier.
Which is weird.
So type of font.
Awesome.
Cheat Sheet OK.
Wow.
OK.
Awesome that I'll slash cheat sheet.
All right.
And so here you have all the icons of this font.
So just so you understand these icons are inside the font itself.
They are like letters and then from here you just need to copy.
For example let's say you want this I can hear you selected you copy it and then you paste it inside
PowerPoint.
But of course this for some reason the font unselected itself.
So you'll go back here and you choose font awesome.
And here you have your icon and then to change the size.
Well you do it just like a regular font.
You can also choose the color for example.
So this is a very good resource.
The only problem is that it's not easy to find icons.
And here they are shown in a very small size.
That's the only downside.
But otherwise it's also a pretty extensive library of icons.
And finally the last thing is how do you change the color of the icons from the Noun Project.
So basically what you need to do is you need to download the SVGA file not that DNG but this SVGA file
right.
And then with this one you can literally do whatever you want.
All right so let's insert it.
All right.
So here we have our Eichen.
And when you go on format you can feel the graphic and you can also choose a different outline the way
which really depends on the icon that you downloaded.
So this is pretty good.
I didn't show it to you in the beginning for simplicity but you can customize absolutely every icon
from the Noun Project.
So this is really really cool.
And you can also apply some effects on it see and the effects also apply on every single component of
this icon.
So it's very very interesting.
Now what to do when it comes to images.
Let's say you want to insert an image on your PowerPoint.
Well the thing is that if you insert any random image usually it the colors the design of this image
will not fit with the rest of your PowerPoint design.
So here once again it depends on who you are doing this video for if it's for an online course.
Well it's not a big deal like I said the design is not very important.
However if you do a YouTube video or a promo video what I suggest is to show images on full screen.
So you take the biggest images and you don't put like an image like here for example you really take
an image it takes all the screen size like this and only then it will look beautiful so you make some
good transition between the slides and you find some nice picture that takes the whole screen and not
put small pictures here and then some title here subtitle here this you can do it for online courses
like I said but usually independent images on video like this.
It's really tough to get them to fit well with all the rest of your design.
However what is very important is that I will talk more about it in detail when you will choose some
random huge pictures to fill out all the slide of your video.
It's very important to choose pictures that look beautiful and especially to avoid the obvious stock
images.
And this is something that I will talk about in a lecture called what you should not do are things to
avoid.
