PowerPoint 2013 Basics Project
In this assignment, you
will use PowerPoint 2013 to create a presentation about your favorite performer.
You can choose any type of performer you would like, including actors, singers, musicians and comedians.
Complete the steps
below in order, one at a time. Please make only the changes listed in the instructions. When
you're done, save the file and submit your PowerPoint to the Blackboard Project
link.
Instructions
- Open PowerPoint 2013 and select Blank Presentation. A blank presentation will
appear.

your blank document to your L-Drive
Folder, with the file name:
PowerPoint_Basics_Project_YourLastName
(The computer will add .pptx for you to complete your save
correctly)

and then apply the Quotable theme.
Use the lime green theme
variant.
- HINT: Hover the mouse over the
themes to see the theme name.
- Click the title placeholder (it says "Click to add
title") and then type the name of your favorite performer. For
example, if your presentation was about Sandra Bullock you would type
"Sandra Bullock" here.
- Click the subtitle placeholder
and then type "My Favorite Performer".
- Select the words of your title (performer’s name) and
then make the following formatting changes:
- Change the font size to 80.

Gray-80%, Background 2.

font colors to see the color name.

font colors to see the color name.
- Add a new slide that uses the Title and Content Layout.
- On the slide you just added, click the Title placeholder,
then type "Reasons Why [Performers Name] is Amazing:". For

Why Leonardo da Vinci is Amazing:"
- Select the content placeholder (it says "Click to
add text") and then type at least three things that you like about
your favorite performer.
- Add a new slide that uses the Two Content layout.

- Use the Pictures command
in the right placeholder to insert a picture that represents your Performer.
- HINT: If you don't have a
picture of the Performer on your computer, you should be able to find one
using Google Image Search. You will need to find the picture you want and
then download it to your computer, saving it to your PowerPoint Folder
and naming it with a logical title, so you will know what it is.
- Insert a new slide that uses the Comparison layout. Then, type "Famous
for:" in the title placeholder.
- Insert two images of your Performer's famous works in
the content placeholders.

will depend on your Performer. For example, if you have selected an actor,
you can insert images of two movies. If you selected a musician, singer
or comedian, you can insert images of two album covers.
- Click the left text placeholder and type a caption
that briefly describes the
left image. (For example, if you chose an album cover, type the title of that album.)
- Select the text for the left place holder, which you
just added and make the following formatting changes:
- Make the text underlined and italic.
- Make sure the placeholder is
center aligned.
- Select the left placeholder you
just formatted and then copy it. Next, select the right text placeholder
and paste the text. Notice how the formatting
changes were also copied to the right placeholder.
- Select the right placeholder and
edit the text to describe the image on the right of the slide.

to add title area and type “Thank You for Viewing” and align text to top, then center align.

your first and last name with correct capitalization.
- Next, apply the following changes to your name: align text to middle, then center
align.
- HINT: Both alignment tools are
located in the paragraph tools on the Home tab.

and then apply a Rotate transition.
- Change the Transition Effect to From Left. Then, click the Apply to All command in the Timing group.
- On slide 1, set
the transition to None.
- HINT: When you're done, there
should be a small star next to each slide in the Slide Navigation pane
except slide 1. You can play your slideshow to see how the transitions
