Everyone nowadays is familiar with PowerPoint as a powerful tool<\/a> to explain, showcase and present project ideas. In this tutorial, you will learn how to make an engaging<\/strong> PowerPoint presentation with\u00a0a cartoon character<\/strong> in its design. Powerful graphics\u00a0are vital for good design and visualizing ideas. So, what better way to explain your ideas than using a beautiful cartoon character.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finding a character for your PowerPoint presentation<\/h3>\n

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use one of our GraphicMama’s free cartoon characters<\/a>, available here – Alfred the Careerist – Office Fever [free pose]<\/a>.\u00a0The pose we\u00a0will be using is part of a complete vector set<\/a>\u00a0with 106 different poses, situations, various facial expressions, and attributes, which you can also purchase and download.<\/p>\n

Note, that when downloading the .zip<\/em> file from the site, you get also a .eps<\/em> source file. With it, you\u00a0can easily edit the character in Adobe Illustrator<\/a> and other vector editing software, so it fits your design need. For example, you can change its colors, pose, etc.<\/p>\n

If you are satisfied with the preview of the character, and you don’t want to change anything about it, then you just need to use a JPEG image from the zip.<\/p>\n

Including the Cartoon Character in your PowerPoint presentation<\/h3>\n

Let’s go with the second scenario, using the JPEG image, which saves you extra time and is very convenient for last-minute projects.<\/p>\n

Once downloaded and unzipped the free archive file, including the JPEG image of the cartoon character in the appropriate slide of your presentation. You can notice, that the background of the image is white, and that is not what we really want. We want a transparent background for our character, so it can blend better with our overall PowerPoint presentation<\/strong>\u00a0design.<\/p>\n

We can easily remove the unwanted white space, by using the Background Removal Tool<\/strong>. It is under the menu Picture Tools > Format<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The menu will now change its buttons, and you will see the following options:<\/p>\n
