Objectifs :
This video aims to teach viewers how to effectively use picture backgrounds in presentations, including the use of watermarks and logos, and how to manipulate images for better visual impact.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Picture Backgrounds
In this section, we explore the various ways to incorporate picture backgrounds into your presentation slides. Many users wish to add watermarks or logos, and the first step is to access the Slide Master feature. -
Accessing Slide Master
To begin, navigate to the 'View' tab and select 'Slide Master.' This will display all the slide masters on the left side of the screen. You can choose the top slide to apply changes universally, but it is advisable to only add logos to specific slides unless necessary for security purposes. -
Inserting a Logo
Select a specific slide to insert a logo. Use the 'Insert' tab, then click on 'Pictures' to upload an image from your computer or online. Once inserted, you can drag the logo to your desired position. Guides will appear to help align the logo properly. -
Adding a Background Picture
To set a background picture, right-click on the blank area of the slide and select 'Format Background.' Choose 'Picture or Texture fill' and then select a picture from your files. Adjust the transparency to ensure the background is subtle and does not overpower the foreground content. -
Creating a New Slide with Background
After setting the background, exit the Slide Master view to return to your presentation. You can now add a new slide that features the background and logo you just created. -
Inserting and Editing Pictures
For a different approach, create a new blank slide and insert a picture. Resize the image to focus on a specific element that conveys action or emotion. This technique allows for a more dynamic presentation. -
Utilizing Negative Space for Text
Identify areas within the image that have negative space, which is ideal for placing text. Insert a text box and adjust the font size for visibility. This enhances the overall design and ensures the message is clear. -
Enhancing Text with Eyedropper Tool
To further improve the slide's aesthetics, use the Eyedropper tool available in PowerPoint 2013. This allows you to match the text color with elements from the image, creating a cohesive look. -
Conclusion
In summary, using picture backgrounds effectively can significantly enhance your presentation. By strategically placing logos, adjusting transparency, and utilizing negative space, you can create visually appealing slides that effectively communicate your message.

Yes, you can insert a background image for a specific slide by selecting that slide and using the 'Format Background' option to choose your image.
How can I make my text stand out against a busy background?

The Eyedropper Tool allows you to select a color from any part of your slide or image. Simply click on the tool, then click on the color you want to use, and it will apply that color to your selected text or shape.
Quelques cas d'usages :
Branding in Corporate Presentations
Using a logo as a watermark in corporate presentations can enhance brand recognition. By applying the logo in the Slide Master, it can be displayed on selected slides without cluttering the entire presentation.
Creating Engaging Marketing Slides
In marketing presentations, using vibrant background images with transparent overlays can capture audience attention. This technique helps convey the message while maintaining visual appeal.
Educational Presentations
Teachers can use the Slide Master to create a consistent look for educational slides, incorporating relevant images and watermarks that reinforce the subject matter while keeping the focus on the content.
Event Promotion
For event promotion slides, using a strong background image with a clear text box can effectively communicate the event details. Adjusting transparency ensures the image supports rather than distracts from the information.
