Using icons is a great way to add visuals to your presentation. There are many ways to get icons online, some are even free. But if you need a specific icon that you can’t find or if you want a special spin to your icon (color, shadow etc) – you can use PowerPoint’s great (and somewhat hidden) “Merge Shapes” commands to create your own icons.
Using these commands you can combine basic shapes into other shapes. You can union and subtract shapes. You can intersect and combine. All while still working natively inside PowerPoint. Once you have created an icon you can change the color, filling and add shadows as needed.
It is just as fun as building with Lego blocks! Well, almost..
This is a guide in 15 steps showing you how you can use these commands to create your own icon - the example we are using is a calendar icon.

SharePoint has been on the market from 2001, and since then, matured into a very stable and popular business collaboration platform. The beauty of SharePoint is that it is relatively easy to customize and it provides an experience already familiar to users via Office suite. Most frequent use of the platform by corporations has been in the areas of web content management, information sharing and document management.
However, adoption of SharePoint as a true Project Management Information System (PMIS) has been slow. Out-of-the-box SharePoint is unappealing, customization takes time and acceptance at PMO level is often very bureaucratic.
In this presentation I will demonstrate how you can customize SharePoint to help you with your next project. You will walk away learning tips and tricks that you can implement literally in hours. Among other things, you will learn how SharePoint can help you facilitate project team collaboration, integrate existing methodologies and empower your project team.

How to make font transparent in PowerPointPresentitude
There are so many great, hidden (or at least not as known) functions in PowerPoint. Without even leaving PowerPoint you can add great effects to your slides.
This is a quick guide how to make text transparent using the ”Merge Shape” functions inside PowerPoint.
Merge away!
If you want to keep your corporate presentation easily editable and make sure it can travel outside your organization, you need to use “safe” fonts. Designing natively in PowerPoint will make things easier down the road (regardless of how you much you crave for those creative free fonts).
Using combos of safe fonts, letter spacing, converting text to objects you can come a long way with your typography using just PowerPoint.
We used two random designs as inspirations to show how you could use safe, standard fonts when creating slides.
All the examples were made directly in PowerPoint using fonts from the list ”44 safe fonts for PowerPoint” (www.presentitude.com/fonts).

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

2. Using PowerPoint to create icons
Using icons is a great way to add visuals to your presentation. There are many ways to get icons online, some are even free.
But if you need a specific icon that you can’t find or if you want a special spin (color, shadow etc) –you can use PowerPoint’s great (and somewhat hidden) “Merge Shapes” commands to create your own icons.
Using a finished icon, we’ll walk you through this process in 15 steps.
If you use PowerPoint 2010 or earlier, you might want to add the “Merge Shapes” function to you QAT. You might also need an add-on to transform text to objects. More on that at the last page.
4. Identify and draw all the parts you need
1
Draw the parts you need to create the icon. All are basic shapes from the PowerPoint Drawing Tab.
We are using the font Verdana for the number.

FINISHED ICON
5. Modify the main shape of the icon
2
Nudge the shapes’ curves using the yellow marker to give them less rounded corners.
6. Create the body of the icon
3
Turn the smaller shape upside down and recolor it (to see it) and place it on top of the big shape and adjust the size as needed.
Make sure you align the shapes by selecting both and choose “Align Center” under the Arrange Menu on the Drawing Tools Tab.
7. Subtract the shapes

9. Create the cut out for the smaller shape
6
Take the smaller shape and duplicate it (ctrl+D) and change the color.
Select the recolored shape and hold down Ctrl and make it wider and longer.
Place it behind the smaller shape and align the shapes.
Adjust the curve of the wider shape using the yellow marker, so that the two objects will have the same shape.
10. Align and distribute the shapes
7
Duplicate the large, small shape and place the two shapes on top of the main icon body.
Make sure the shapes are distributed equally.
11. Subtract the shapes
8
Select the main icon body shape first, and then the two smaller shapes.
Select “Subtract” on the Merge Shapes on the “Drawing Tools Tab.
12. Union the big and small shapes

The shapes are now joined to one object.
13. Turn the number into a shape

14. Union the icon body and the number
11
Place the number shape on the main icon body.
Make sure the shapes are aligned and distributed.
Select the two shapes and choose “Union” .
The shapes are now joined to one object.
15. Don’t union if you want to use different colors
12
If you want to use different colors on parts of your object, don’t union the shapes in the process of creating it.
If you choose to “group” and not “union” the objects you can use different colors for different parts.
16. Change color, fill, shadows etc.
13
As your shape is now an object you can change the color, filling and add shadows as needed.
17. Create similar icons
14
Use similar shapes to create other icons. Make sure corners and width of the “lines” of the icons are similar.
18. Save to your icon asset file
15
After you’ve used your icon, save it to an local icons asset file where you store your icons for easy access for next presentation!

20. Tips for PowerPoint 2010 users
Add Merge Shapes commandsto your QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) to make them more readily accessible.
1.
Click the little arrow next to the QAT and click “More commands”.
