Editing outline icons in PowerPoint

Slide Content

The slide presents guidance on editing outline icons in PowerPoint, particularly focusing on three aspects: color, thickness, and size. "Color" emphasizes the adaptability of icon outline colors to align with branding guidelines and advises against color filling. "Thickness" discusses tweaking the line weight to maintain readability, warning that excessively thick lines can impair clarity. "Size" advises that icons should be resized from the corners to preserve proportions, as distorting these can degrade the icon's sharpness.

Graphical Look

• The slide features a dark teal header with the title in white.
• Three main sections, each with a light grey banner containing a black title: 'Color', 'Thickness', 'Size'.
• Each section has a pair of icons: the left one is a yellow document icon, and the right one is a document icon with a red 'X' over it.
• Beneath the icons' pairs are blue thumbs-up icons indicating a correct method and red thumbs-down icons indicating an incorrect method.
• For each section, there's a screenshot of a PowerPoint menu illustrating the correct method to adjust the corresponding feature.
• On the right side, a blue vertical banner lists benefits in bullet points with corresponding text: 'Change outline color', 'Modify outline thickness', and 'Resize'.
• A larger icon with resize handles and a cursor demonstrates the resizing process.
• The slide background is white.
• At the bottom right, a blue ribbon displays text encouraging the viewer to check out more icons on a website.

The slide's visual composition is clean and structured, using a combination of icons, screenshots, and instructional banners to deliver a step-by-step guide. Icons are used both to demonstrate the topic at hand and as visual cues for the dos and don'ts of the process.
