Steve Jobs's PowerPoint simplicity and monochrome style

Steve Jobs's ppt is Morukin, sometimes he tells a big paragraph, the PPT only shows a phrase, and the background color is always blue-gray (also known as Apple Gray), and the text is only white, no other color. This is typical monochrome concise style ppt, such color and layout concise, for the picture, the chart left enough color space, no longer for the picture, the chart color and background color coordination and worry.

Monochrome ppt is characterized by simplicity, simplicity is not simple, not shabby. Simplicity is the desire to display only one theme on a single page, and if multiple themes need to be displayed, separate them on different pages. Good ppt is not afraid of the number of pages, the fear is to reduce PPT pages, all the things are piled on a page. Imagine if Steve Jobs's PowerPoint stack was full of text and product parameters, could it be so appealing?

The essence of the production of monochrome PPT

1. Layout

If there is only one focus on the page, the position should be considered in particular. For example, the focus of a plain text is positioned vertically in the middle (Figure 1).

If it's a mix of pictures and text, place the picture on the left 1/3 and place the text on the right 2/3 (Figure 2).

2. Background color

The background color is set to monochrome. If you feel the monotony of monochrome, you can do the effect of gradual discoloration. For example, the first gradient aperture R10,g19,b30, the second gradient aperture r20,g38,b60, and the third gradient aperture r81,g105,b133.

3. Chart

The color of the chart can be enriched, you can highlight some of the highlights, such as highlighting the apple data, you can do this:

First, select "Three-dimensional pie" in "insert" → "chart". Then in the "chart tool" → "layout" → "Legend" to select "Show Legend on the left", and then right-click the chart to select "Three-dimensional rotation", and finally select the pie chart to represent the part of the Apple, with the mouse gently move down a little.

4. Picture

Do ppt to use a picture to speak, many times a good picture is better than words. Pick pictures to pay attention to, some pictures have their own white background (Figure 3), how to look strange, need to remove to the background with the PPT perfect fusion. How can you get rid of the background of the picture?

PPT to modify the image of the effect, although not as Photoshop, but the basic to meet our production of PPT requirements.

5. Animation

The new effect is synthesized with a variety of animation effects groups. For example, move a picture from the middle to the left and slightly reduce it (the name of the effect is "magic move"), in ppt, you can use two kinds of animation combination: Select the picture through the Animation tab to add animation, and then select the "Motion path" in the "line", move the end of the motion path (red arrow) to the position you want, Then select "Add animation" → "emphasis" → "zoom Out", Next, open the Animation pane (Figure 4), enter "90%" in "option effect" → "size" → "custom", and then select "With previous animation" in "option effect" → "timing" → "start".
