When designing a PowerPoint presentation, it's common to add unique graphics to make the slides more visually appealing and expressive. However, many users don't know where to find such graphic resources. The truth is, PowerPoint itself has a wide range of built-in shapes and tools that can help you create stunning visuals without needing external assets. With just a bit of creativity, you can elevate your PPT to a whole new level. **Shape + Color Block – Highlight Text Effectively** In PowerPoint, there are often key points that need to be emphasized. While using different colored fonts is a common approach, it can sometimes feel abrupt or unrefined. A more elegant solution is to use "shape + color" to highlight important text. To do this, go to "Insert → Shape" and choose a rectangle that fits the text you want to emphasize. Once inserted, select the shape and go to "Drawing Tools → Format → Shape Outline → None" to remove the border. Then, choose a fill color that complements your design. Finally, right-click the shape and select "Bring to Front" to place it behind the text. This subtle yet effective technique helps draw attention to the key content (Figure 1). ![Figure 1: Using "shape + color" to highlight key text](http://i.bosscdn.com/blog/15/08/74/5060917.png) **Shape + Combination – Create Custom Decorative Elements** PowerPoint allows for complex designs through the use of shape combinations. For instance, if you're creating a presentation about traditional Chinese culture, you might want to include a Tai Chi symbol. Instead of searching for an image, you can create one using basic shapes and Boolean operations. Start by inserting two circles—one large and one small. Adjust their sizes and positions, then use the "Merge Shape" tool to cut out parts of the larger circle. Repeat the process to build the other half of the symbol and combine everything into a complete Tai Chi pattern (Figure 4). ![Figure 4: Complete Tai Chi Pattern](http://i.bosscdn.com/blog/15/08/74/5060492.png) **Shape + Font – Customize Text for Creative Effects** Another powerful feature in PowerPoint is the ability to deform text using shapes. For example, if your slide needs to convey a "cool" theme, you can take a word like "Cool" and apply custom transformations. Insert a text box with the desired word, then overlay a rectangle of the same size and color. Use the "Intersect" option under "Merge Shape" to convert the text into a vector-like shape. You can then edit individual vertices to stretch or distort the text creatively (Figure 6). ![Figure 6: Editing text vertices](http://i.bosscdn.com/blog/15/08/74/5060524.png) **Shape + Union – Apply Picture Masks** If you want to highlight a person in a photo while blurring the background, you can use shapes to create a mask effect. Insert the image, then draw a shape over the area you want to focus on. Adjust the shape’s edges using the "Edit Vertex" tool to match the subject’s outline. Combine the shape with the image using "Union," then apply a gradient or solid color to create a professional-looking mask (Figure 10). ![Figure 10: Mask effect](http://i.bosscdn.com/blog/15/08/74/5064636.png) By mastering these techniques, you can create visually striking presentations without relying on external graphic libraries. Whether it's highlighting text, building complex symbols, or applying masks, PowerPoint offers a wealth of tools that, when used creatively, can transform your slides into dynamic and engaging visual stories.

Outdoor Led Display screens for rental-- Die casting cabinet

LED technology is the latest and the best in terms of the audio visual technologies out there and it is still evolving. There is a strong emphasis in making LED display screens energy efficient, cost efficient and light weight apart from other quality requirements. Hence,Stage LED screen cabinets are also now expected to be lighter in weight. This need has resulted into the gradual shift from the iron cabinet, aluminum cabinet, to the cast-aluminum and die cast aluminum as the weight of the cabinet is lighter. Cast aluminum and die cast-aluminum cabinets are the latest of the cabinets used for LED casing.

The cast aluminum and die cast-aluminum cabinets have high strength and high tenacity. They are highly efficient, provide excellent heat dissipation, energy conservation and environmental protection. Because of their outdoor usage, Rentel led display cabinet is made as a waterproof cabinet of leasing cast aluminum. They are lightweight and ultrathin. They are quite flexible for easy packaging and lifting. They have a high refresh rate, high grayscale and are widely applied to the stage renting. They are easy and simple to install and thus help you save on precious time and man power as one-person can easily do the insallation. Cabinet splicing and wiring connection is fast and reliable. Not only great in looks dept. it can be easily dismantled. Casting Aluminum and die Casting Aluminum Cabinet also have better deformation resistance property.
