This week the Articulate team shared a super easy technique used in advertisements and presentation backgrounds: the echo effect. This effect is achieved by duplicating one of the images and placed it on the background. The background image is scaled beyond the slide size and transparency is increased to blend the image into the background.
Watch the tutorial where Tom Kuhlmann explains clearly how to do it:
My sample:
To create this cover, I used images of a cooker showing a prepared food in different poses. Background photo was scaled and blurred. On top I added a shape with a transparency of 70% and placed the other image. Finally, I imported the PowerPoint slide to Storyline.
Very cool design tip! Check out other great examples in the Weekly Challenge 117
