Some mistakes easily made by novices - 2

Welcome to the third post! Today we’re going to continue talking about the mistakes a novice may easily make.

Considering the question “Why we can’t make those mistakes intentionally just for fun?” a reader commented below, I’d like to say that, it’s totally acceptable and may be praised for creativity. 

But what matters is whether you’re aware of those errors or not. The aim of these posts is to raise everyone’s consciousness of these. Thanks for all the comments~~

Now, let’s go on the third thing to notice: the fonts and their sizes. If used properly, your presentation will be more inspiring. But if you utilize like the picture below, it won’t be a good choice.

As you all can see, we may want to do some fancy tricks using the various implanted font types and sizes. But we may fail when we take them altogether in a single page. So, what is needed? The answer is simple but hard: proper tricks in proper place:

The following issue is item composing. When we want, or need to make a complex figure, for instance, a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell model, a set of items can be created:

If we keep those items independent, it can be hard to keep the whole figure intact after some further revise. Thus, a better way to get rid of those concerns is to group them altogether like this:

By using this technique, harnessing complicated made-up figures is just a piece of cake. You can even export the figure as a png file_[1] to use the picture outside this PowerPoint document. By the way, it’s also vital to make the picture concise, too.

Hope you enjoy today’s…lesson(?!) and wish you all have a happy holiday~ Glad to have you finished this post. We’ll usher in the end of this series next week.
