233 TIPS ON GRAPHICS AND VISUAL DESIGN Give your message room to breathe and places for your eyes to rest. Michelle Vilamaa, independent I like to mix mediums by using cartoon characters sitting in realistic backgrounds. I use the Remove Background function found under the Picture Tools formatting tab in PowerPoint to make parts of my cartoon background transparent, and then I insert a street scene or brick wall, etc., behind the characters. It helps to make the training edgy and modern. Melissa Dougherty, Advance America Use a font or color that is different from what you’ve used on previous pages to inform the learner of a “shift” in the training. This “shift” could indicate a video, simulation, a practice question, or the end of a particular lesson. Richard Butler, AT&T Capturing a software or screen simulation? Once you have determined your recording size, use your favorite graphics editing tool to create a solid-color desktop “wallpaper.” Then, draw out a square that equals the width and height of your recording size and give it a different color. Save this new image and use your computer’s display settings to make it your desktop wallpaper. Now, whenever you need to capture a recording, size the software or browser window to match the colored square on your wallpaper. It’s a fast and easy way to ensure what you are recording will fit within the confines of your project! Chuck Jones, Orgwide Custom Learning Solutions 24 www.eLearningGuild.com
