There is a lot of power in Keynote to style, arrange, and edit items. You can use this power when making your presentations or you can co-opt this power for other creative endeavors.
Download this Keynote presentation and open it in Keynote on your iPad. Follow the directions presented.
If you have problems downloading the presentation, I also have all the directions listed below.
We first need to learn about the formatting options that are available. You can access the formatting options by selecting an object and then touching the paint brush.
Watch this video to learn about some of the formatting options:
Do the following after watching the video above:
Create a new presentation
Add a slide with pictures and text
Use the formatting tools to change the styles of your objects.
Add an interesting border to your pictures
Change your font and text styles
Have you ever taken a picture to use in a presentation only to find out you need to bring it into an image editor to crop or resize it before you can use it? You can actually do this right in Keynote. To do this we will need to learn about the Image Mask in Keynote.
Watch this video about working with the Image Mask:
Do the following after watching the video above:
Go back to the presentation you were just working on or create a new presentation
Add a slide with a picture on it
Tap the plus to put your own picture in.
Double tap your picture to edit the image mask
The last skill we need is called Instant Alpha. This will work best if your picture has a uniform background. This can be used to create silly pictures, but is can also add a touch of awesomeness to your presentation without much extra effort.
Do the following after watching the video above:
Create a new presentation
Add a blank slide
Save this image to your Camera Roll
Put Mr. Dold some place he might have fun or make a Demotivational Poster
You should probably edit the image mask to crop the image first
You'll have to be careful with instant alpha to remove the wall without removing his face.
