Getting Started with Word Art
Learn how to insert Word Art in Google Slides. Start by navigating to the “Insert” menu, selecting “Word Art,” and typing your text. Discover how to add line breaks by holding the Shift key and pressing Enter. With these simple steps, you’ll have the foundation for customized Word Art.
Customizing Fonts for a Unique Look
Breathe life into your Word Art by changing fonts. Explore Google’s font library to find styles that suit your presentation. From fun fonts like “Henny Penny” to more professional options, you’ll find endless possibilities to match your style.
Adding Color and Gradients
Use the fill color and gradient options to make your word art pop. Choose from solid colors, pre-designed gradients, or radial effects for a dynamic look.
Enhancing with Borders
Adjust the border color, weight, and style to add pizzazz to your word art. Experiment with solid, dashed, or dotted lines. While bold outlines can add fun, consider the context—subtle solid lines are better for professional settings, while dots and dashes are perfect for “Worst Preso Ever“.
Resizing and Maintaining Proportions
Easily adjust the size of your Word Art using the blue drag handles. For proportional resizing, hold the Shift key while dragging from the corners. This ensures your design stays balanced and visually appealing.
Adding Shadows and Reflections
Use formatting options to create drop shadows and reflections for depth. Customize shadow blur, distance, and color for the perfect effect. Reflections can also be adjusted for opacity and distance, adding a polished finish.
Accessibility Tips
Make your presentations inclusive by adding alternate text to Word Art. This step ensures screen readers can describe your visuals for visually impaired viewers, improving accessibility.
