Step 2: Creating the Wave Shapes (01:04 - 06:35)
Next, we will create the wave shapes at the bottom of the slide. Here are the steps:
- Go to
Insert > Shapesand select the rectangle. Draw the rectangle at the bottom of the slide. - Remove the shape outline by selecting
No Outline. - Right-click on the rectangle and select
Edit Points. Add two more points on the line or border of the rectangle. - Select each new point and make them smooth points.
- Adjust the points to create a wave-like shape.
- Apply a gradient fill to the shape. Use two stops for the gradient and select the colors using the
Eyedroppertool. Adjust the direction of the gradient as needed. - Duplicate the wave shape (press
Ctrl + D) and adjust the height and color of the duplicated shape. Send the duplicated shape to the back. - Repeat the process to create additional wave shapes. You can adjust the points of each shape to create a variety of wave designs.
Step 3: Adding the Options (06:56 - 11:07)
Now, we will add the options to the slide:
- Select the rounded rectangle from
Insert > Shapesand draw a rounded rectangle on the slide. Make the corners less curved and remove the shape outline. - Duplicate the rounded rectangle twice by holding the
Ctrl + Shiftkeys and dragging the shape. - Apply a gradient fill to each rectangle. Use the same colors as the wave shapes and adjust the transparency as needed.
- Group the rectangles together by selecting them and pressing
Ctrl + G. Then, ungroup them by right-clicking and selectingUngroup.
Step 4: Inserting Icons and Text (11:43 - 11:58)
Next, insert some icons and add text to each option:
- Go to
Insert > Iconsand choose relevant icons. Reduce the size of the icons to 7 and fill them with white. - Position the icons on each option.
- Go to
Insert > Text Boxand add a title and detailed text to each option. Format the text as needed.
Step 5: Adding Animations (11:58 - end)
Finally, we will add animations to the options:
- Select an option and duplicate the slide.
- On the new slide, move the option above or below the slide area.
- Apply a
Fly Inanimation to the option. Adjust the direction and duration of the animation as needed. - Repeat the process for the other options.
