Adding 3D to flat designs

By Tim Hards | June 8, 2011

In the newsletter I sent out a bit over a month ago, I described how to go from a flat PowerPoint design like this:

Flat design in PowerPoint

To a 3D design with Perspector:

3D design with Perspector

The edges of the sun shapes have zero depth. This can easily be set in Perspector using the Size tab of the shape properties dialog.

The centres of the shapes have been overlaid with Ball shapes to give them 3D centres. These have been accentuated with a bit of shine.

You can download the presentation from here.

The next newsletter will be sent tomorrow or Friday. Sign up.
