In this video we will create the Cover Page of our presentation. 4 4
Given that it is the first impression that the audience will receive, it is an important part of our work. 5 5
We want to create a first page that stands out and conveys the right message. 6 6
Watch this video and you'll be able to see how it's done step by step. 7 7
In order to prepare the presentation's recipients about the company's business, we can insert a picture that delivers part of the message. 8 8
I'll insert the following picture and resize it in order to cover the whole slide. 9 9
Ok. This is much better now. The first thing that people will see is this cinema salon. 10 10
Does it give a hint about Kinemax's business? Yes, it certainly does. 11 11
Let's insert two text boxes that will serve as a title and subtitle. 12 12
I'd like to format the title of the presentation. I will select the text, 13 13
right-click on it and modify the text color to white 14 14
and set its font size to 30. 15 15
Let's put it in bold and create a few shadow effects. 16 16
The first shadow effect that we will apply is the one that we find in the Format Shape menu. 17 17
I'll click on "Shadow" and introduce a shadow that is transparent at 80%. 18 18
The other type of shadow effect that we will use is in the Format Text menu. 19 19
Let's do the same thing: apply a shadow that is transparent at 80%. 20 20
Below we will have the subtitle of the presentation, where the phrase "Company presentation" 21 21
will be written. 22 22
I'll change its font size to 14 and the color of the text to gray. 23 23
Let's put it in bold and italic. 24 24
Ok. The title and subtitle need to be aligned. I'll put them exactly below each other. 25 25
Very good. Let's add the following rectangle shapes to the presentation and place them exactly below each other. 26 26
I'll use the "Align left" button in the quick access toolbar. 27 27
Ok. Now we need to change the formatting of these shapes. 28 28
I will select both of them and open the Format Shape menu. 29 29
We can remove their line color by clicking "No line" in the Line Color tab, after which we can use the Fill 30 30
section in order to add a nice visual effect to the two shapes. 31 31
I will select "Gradient fill", which will add a pleasant effect to the two shapes. 32 32
Let's copy both of them and decrease their width. 33 33
I'll decrease it to 2 inches, as we need thinner lines. 34 34
I'll use the quick access toolbar buttons in order to align the new shapes with the old ones. 35 35
Ok. Now we can make another slight modification to the two shapes, which is to change the color of their gradient fill. Alright. 36 36
I'll right-click on them and access the Format Shape menu, where we can change the color of each of the gradient stops. 37 37
I will select the first gradient stop and change its color to dark blue. 38 38
Let's leave the second gradient stop as it is and modify the color of the third gradient stop so it is dark blue. 39 39
In this area of the page we will insert a company logo and a smaller image, which was specifically 40 40
selected in order to describe Kinemax's business. 41 41
As we said earlier the company operates in the child segment of the market. Therefore, we can 42 42
insert a picture that will provide an additional hint to the recipient of the presentation. 43 43
Let's resize the two images 44 44
and place them one above the other. 45 45
This completes the Cover Page of our presentation. 46 46
Don't go away! We have lots of work ahead of us!
