Editing outline icons in PowerPoint

Slide Content

The slide explains how to edit outline icons in PowerPoint with a focus on three main attributes: Color, Thickness, and Size. Color adjustment should match branding but avoid fill colors to preserve icon clarity. Adjusting icon thickness requires balancing line width with the icon's scale to maintain readability. Changing an icon's size should be done by manipulating corner nodes to avoid distorting its proportions, affecting its clarity. These steps ensure icons are customized without compromising their design integrity.

Graphical Look

• The title "Editing outline icons in PowerPoint" is placed at the top in a large, bold font.

• To the right, there's a column with the heading "Fully editable icons" followed by bullet points stating what you can edit: "Change outline color," "Modify outline thickness," and "Resize."
• The slide background is white with a top border that fades from a deep blue to a lighter blue shade, giving it a professional, clean look.
