tutorial: creating a custom texture in powerpoint
DESCRIPTION
Not everyone has Photoshop or Illustrator, where creating patterns is pretty painless. For those that don't, the good news is that you can create simple textures in PowerPoint that are endlessly flexible using tools that are familiar and native to PowerPoint. Once you get these steps down, you are limited only by your imagination. I chose a circle devoid of effects to keep things simple and subtle, but you can stylize any shape (or combination of shapes) however you’d like. For instance, if you put a square behind the circle and grouped before saving as a picture, there would be space between your shapes in the texture. You can also use this process to add texture to boxes, call-outs, quotes . . . whatever! Use it to create a background texture with transparency overlaid on your color of choice. Endless possibilities!TRANSCRIPT
