Using the Morph Transition with Curve Shapes in PowerPoint

We already looked at getting started with the Morph transition in PowerPoint. In this next tutorial of the Morph transition series, we will look at using the Curve line tool to create some drawings. These drawings can be duplicated on subsequent slides, and edited slightly in each slide. The results can differ depending upon what you draw. While it will be great if you have artistic skills to draw within PowerPoint, it doesn’t matter if you cannot draw. We will also provide a sample presentation and video walkthrough to help.

Quickly create animations using the Curve line tool and the Morph transition in PowerPoint.

How to Make Your Feedback Inspiring

By Kyle Murtagh, Toastmasters International

When you are about to receive feedback on your performance, how do you feel? If you’re a bit stressed your reaction won’t be unusual.

Tense, worried, and slightly scared are typically how people feel before they are given personally prescribed feedback. For the person providing the evaluation, breaking through this emotional blockade can be challenging; if this is approached in the wrong way, the goal of the feedback—to improve performance—can be more difficult to achieve.

PresenterMedia’s HD Video Backgrounds: Conversation with Judd Albrecht

      Judd Albrecht has always been a creative person, from when he was young all the way up until now. Some ways he satisfies that need to be creative are animating, creating graphics, writing/playing music and playing with his kids. He went to school and graduated with a degree in 3D animation. Along with a background in animation, he developed many more skills that have made him a well-rounded digital artist.
