Tip 3: Apply Contrasting Colors, Gradients for Highlighting in PPT Presentations

December 4, 2013 By //  by Fivestarly Lathong Leave a Comment

To call attention to a particular visual element in a graphic, the best and most aesthetically pleasing way is to apply contrasting colors or even a gradient. This is a particularly effective technique to highlight particular cells that contain key data in tables. To change the color of a cell in a table or apply a gradient, place the cursor in the cell and go to Design>Table Styles>Shading.
If you don’t have the time to create well-designed tables, why not go for 24point0’s easily editable tables and graphs?
To apply a color gradient to a graphic, select the editable shape and go to Home>Drawing>Shape Fill>Gradient and pick from the range of gradient effects available. When applying a gradient to a shape that has text, ensure that the colors used for text are at high contrast from the gradient color to ensure readability.
