Creating slides for the lobby screens
How to create slides that look good
AND get the message across
What are the screens for?
• Promoting the libraries and library services
• Informing patrons about new (or old)
resources, services, facilities
• Publicizing library-related events
• Other – just ask, who knows? (but it really isn’t
for personal stuff, ie. Happy Birthdays, etc.)
Basics
• Notice the shape of this slide: 16 x 9 inches
– This is the shape of the widescreen TVs – create
your slides at this aspect ratio to avoid this:
To do this
• Go to the "Design" tab
• Click "Page Setup"
• Select "Slides sized for On-
screen show (16:9)" and
then click ok.
• Create and save your slides
at this setting.
Images
• GET THE LARGEST IMAGE FILE YOU CAN FIND,
AND THEN SHRINK IT – OTHERWISE:
Poor Patrick!
Blurry images are no fun.
Spongebob is
much happier
How to get big images from the web
• This is one option – and note that I am
considering this fair use. Please don’t violate
copyright law in the library lobby!
Google Image Search
How to get big images of book covers
• Minerva – there are two sizes available here!
If Minerva fails (usually happens with older books), try Amazon
Small: And Large:
Fonts
• Use readable fonts
• Beware of script-like fonts – they look cool, but…what does this say?
• Fancy fonts are ok, as long as they
fit the tone of the slide
This seems appropriate:
On July 21st, the Provost will be giving a lecture
on the challenges of managing a large
university.
Come to Library Palooza, hear some
tunes, win a flash drive, and get
some great information while you’re
at it!
This, however…
On July 21st, the Provostwill be giving a
lectureon the challenges of managing a
large university.
Animations, Movies, and more!
It is possible to create animations with
Powerpoint itself
But
Try
Not
to
overdo it
You can insert movie clips if you want…
Check with the IMC staff to see what’s possible
Try to keep the file sizes as small as you can
The sound is muted on the TVs - images should
explain themselves
Last grey slide
Q: What, besides the grey background, do most of
the preceding slides have in common?
A: Not much text!
