PowerPoint Design Trend – White Text on Full Bleed Image
In PowerPoint Design Trend on June 18, 2014 at 5:10 pmI often look to web graphic design trends for inspiration in presentation design.
One trend we’re experiencing in the wide world of the web is the use of white text over a full bleed image. This approach can give any presentation a simple, yet sophisticated look. And, creating a PowerPoint template to support consistent use of font types and text and image positioning is pretty easy.
A word of caution to lovers of this design: make sure the white text is sufficiently contrasted against the image for a projection environment. If there isn’t a strong contrast, you’ll need to use built-in PowerPoint tools to subtly enhance the contrast without compromising the elegant look.
To ensure sufficient contrast between text and the background image, add a subtle drop shadow to the text.
Even though we’ve added a subtle drop shadow to the text on this slide to bump up the contrast, this image may NOT be the best candidate for this type of slide design.
