Learning About Creating Stories From Cinema
Cinema is all about stories, and we have to admit that stories in presentations are a subject that’s only been widely talked about in recent years. So clearly, there is so much to learn from cinema, and then we can use that wisdom to create better presentation messages. But even I did not expect to find so much amazing information about stories in a feature that explores office spaces of Bollywood cinema directors!

Working with HSL Colors
Assuming someone has provided you with an HSL (Hue, Saturation, and Luminosity) value of a color, and asked you to add a rectangle of that color to a slide, then how do you proceed? Let's also explore another scenario. What if you have started with a color that's close enough to what you need, but it's not the exact one. Maybe you need it to be a little less saturated? Again, you will benefit by working with the HSL color model rather than the RGB model.
Shape Styles
PowerPoint’s fill, line, and effect attributes enable you to customize the look of shapes and other slide objects in your presentation. However, it may take ages to get that perfect color combination and even after spending so much time, the final look may not match the Theme of your presentation. Shape Styles is an awesome option to overcome this problem. Shape Styles are a collection of prebuilt styles housed within a gallery of the same name. These styles are all
Theme-specific. What does this mean? It means that if a presentation’s Theme changes, you’ll end up with new Shape Styles.

Working with Picture Slide Layouts
Slide Layouts are a very useful feature because they let you use a preset arrangement of placeholders repeatedly, resulting in consistent looking slides. And yes, you can also create your own custom Slide Layouts. While very few users create their own custom Slide Layouts, even fewer will create a custom Slide Layout for pictures! That's regrettable since Picture Slide Layouts can make your slides look so unique. In this tutorial, we will show you how easy it is to create your own
Picture Slide Layout in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac.
Add Places
While you can open and save files from any file location you access on your computer or network, you can also add more places from where you can open and save files. You see options to add a place, also known as Online Locations in both the Open and Save As dialog boxes.
Create Custom Shaped Picture Placeholders
Do you want your pictures to be contained within shapes that look like frames? Or maybe you want to use silhouette style placeholders for your pictures? Yes, this process is a little involved, but we'll hold your hand if you promise to follow all our steps in sequence!
