Creating Shapes: The Basics-Intro

     Now, you might be thinking this, but you also might not. Where in the world did I get such awesome shapes on PowerPoint (like the sheep and goats in Anthrax? Well, to be honest, it's actually not that hard. I figured this out before having read my book (and with some indirect aid from my brother). What I realized is that PowerPoint gives you the most basic shapes like squares, circles, and triangles (and even with these, you can still play with their dimensions). Using these shapes, one is able to "play" with them and then COMBINE THEM to create other shapes. Over the next few weeks (beginning 25th of September) I will try to teach you, my bloggish viewers (and Mrs. Sheehan and Mr. Leathem) how to create more exciting shapes with the given shapes and how to use the "bring to front" and "send to back" buttons, the "group" button, and others. This series will be titled "Creating Shapes: The Basics" so if you miss a day, you can find more easily. *Also, every week, I will try to remember to include an "Animating TIP of the WHENEVER-I-REMEMBER-TO-POST-IT!" These will consist of easy and extremely helpful "tools" of trade! These I will post whenever I have time, or whenever I remember.*
