Replace Font Dialog Update
Back on October 10, I did a post about a key feature missing in PowerPoint 2013 “Replace Font Dialog, PowerPoint 2010 vs. 2013.” Unfortunately, no solution has been added to PowerPoint 2013, the font type icons are still missing.
PowerPoint 2010 has font type icons (with no icon indicating the font is not installed on the computer):[br]
PowerPoint 2013 does not have the font type icons:
One area I did not include in the original post – and the reason for this post – is that the font type icons have not been completely removed from PowerPoint 2013. The font type icons can be seen in the Font drop down menu on the Home tab.[br]
That’s all. Just a clarification to the earlier post. Hopefully in the near future I can do another post on this same topic showing that the font type icons have been restored to the Replace Fonts dialog.

PowerPoint Shows in Barcelona and Lisbon
In November, Lori and I were happy to support one of our great clients at their Barcelona, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal international sales meetings. TLC developed the event PowerPoint templates, coordinated all presenter support needs, worked with the local in-country AV and assisted the meeting planning group – plus, we enjoyed a few days of amazing site seeing after each event.

Olaf PowerPoint Slide
Special recognition to TLC designer Jennifer for this wonderful 3D illustration all developed in PowerPoint 2013!
The video shows the development of Olaf in flip-book style animation. The first part of the video is a fast animation, followed by a slower version that shows each design step. Enjoy!

In addition to the obvious PowerPoint 3D and shadow options, most of the development relied on PowerPoint’s Merge Shapes tools.

Image + PowerPoint Graphic for Complete Slide Message
This is a slide from a recent project that I think is a good demonstration of seamlessly integrating PowerPoint content and graphics with photos. We developed from a script, so no design was done before our design team created the presentation – but I can easily see something like this being the “standard” PowerPoint slide:
Here is the TLC Creative Services slide for the presentation:
Here is the development process for the complete slide message:
1. Review script, understand message, outline needed slide content to support message.
2. Research images, or develop image. For this slide we used this stock image:
3. Develop a cloud graphic in PowerPoint to animate and carry the message.
4. Use a combination of PowerPoint shapes and custom shapes that will become our PowerPoint cloud:
5. Turn all of the shapes into a single cloud using the MERGE SHAPES tool:
5. Adjust the color and fill/outline options:
6. Add the text (direct in the cloud shape):
7. Final step is to add an animated entrance effect:

Pixar Cars Template
Pixar properties are fun projects! For this new marketing template for the Cars franchise, we were asked to develop a PowerPoint template that made use of a Chrome chevron/triangle, lots of McQueen’s metallic red paint, a McQueen character and the Disney Pixar Cars logo. Along with custom bullets (in the shape of bolts and rivets), this is the final template styling.
Note: This post is only to highlight the design work of TLC, we cannot provide this template to anyone (sorry).
