Matthew 25:35-39
For I was hungry, you gave me meat:
I was thirsty, and you gave me drink:
I was a stranger, and you took me in:
Naked, and you clothed me:
I was sick, and you visited me:
I was in prison, and you came unto me.

I recommend displaying the “Drawing” toolbar
Put it at the bottom of PowerPoint
Where it’s out of the way but always available.
![Page 8: Using Layout Effectively Michael Heavener, ABC heavener@heavenr.com](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55145c8f550346414e8b56b0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Then play with the various buttons and tools.Learn them.
Make them yours.
Own them.

• Here are some slides with simply visual treatments– Feel free to disassemble them– To find out how they work.

As long as the basic rules of readability are followed
Feel free to expand your creative horizons
Go for it!

If you hit on something that works, hurray!– Teach it to us, so we can use it, too
If something doesn’t work– Let us know, so we can avoid it
And remember, there’s always next week

Bounding boxes(the dotted line thingies)
Forget sticking to the standard PowerPoint bounding box defaults
Push
Pull
Prod
Until you achieve something pleasing

Rotating text
When rotating text (as with the verse numbers), it’s probably most readable on the left side running bottom to top
I’ve seen it done on the right and running up but that generally slows my eye
