4th July Text

07/06/09 | by Troy Chollar [mail] | Categories: Tutorial, Portfolio

I had a few emails asking about the 4th of July post. I did most of the work in Photoshop compositing the red/white rays with the fireworks. Then in PPT 2007 I added the TLC logo, a radial gradient shape under the logo to help it have contrast and be visible and finally created the text using PPT 2007 gradient fill options.


The text is a custom font (Albert, which is license restricted so not embedded - will default to some other font on your computer...). I added a custom 3 step gradient, bold outline and near opaque drop shadow (needed on the visually busy background used in previous post). The slide can be downloaded here.

I work with PowerPoint on a daily basis and I am very honored to be a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP. ThePowerPointBlog focuses on PowerPoint and multimedia development, all of which is hopefully helpful, fun, and at times entertaining. Enjoy!
