I teach elementary school, and I still DESPISE Comic Sans. I will use pretty much any other font except that one. My mentor teacher during student teaching told me she uses it because it most closely resembles the handwriting they teach the students in that school, but... I'm sorry. I just can't use it.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868106703471589024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-4559685564103929602012-04-30T20:23:42.403-04:002012-04-30T20:23:42.403-04:00Yeah Ned, it's a LONG post - mostly cause of a...Yeah Ned, it's a LONG post - mostly cause of all the "slides" :-) And because I've been thinking about this one for like a MONTH! <br /><br />I don't use Keynote. I save my work as PDF to keep them from going wonky! Because I have so many unique fonts & I didn't want them to default to ARIEL. I also use images that are 1024X768 and I save the image as the background image to cement it there (but it's a super pain when you combine PPT's because you have to do it all over again) <br /><br />I went PRO on Slideshare recently & that's really been a help because when i convert my PPT's to PDF's they go UP in size sometimes by like 5 mgs. <br /><br />ANOTHER thing I do -- If I'm layering on a slide like this one<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/info_grrl/7125917627/in/photostream<br /><br />Where I have a <br />• background image of black<br />then a QR Code that I faded out in picture manip<br />• then my avatar as a transparent PNG<br />• A big layering of type - Neutraface of course!<br />• and then a call out talk bubble shape<br /><br />...well those 5 things combine to create a really big preso! So, another thing i do is I save the whole slidedeck as images and then bring in the images one by one into another slidedeck so that there's only one graphic per slide & the size goes way down!<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br />~Gwyneth@GwynethJones - The Daring Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455804690126231910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-36097092747436481922012-04-30T05:45:06.072-04:002012-04-30T05:45:06.072-04:00Wow, mega post!

I've only rarely tried this because when I do they tend to go a bit weird - images go a bit shonky, and sometimes text boxes 'leak' into other areas etc. Any advice..?Ned Potterhttp://thewikiman.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-55230964195803653362012-04-29T23:57:06.711-04:002012-04-29T23:57:06.711-04:00For fonts, try MyFonts.com - find freebies by doin...For fonts, try MyFonts.com - find freebies by doing a search where price is at most $0 :-)<br />Also, Google Web Fonts - make a collection and then download them.<br />For colour palettes: colorschemedesigner.com and design-seeds.com are good.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008805134443395191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-69541807104190968272012-04-29T21:40:16.762-04:002012-04-29T21:40:16.762-04:00Oh yes!
