The original title: "it's a bit behind schedule. Can you publish a tutorial on beautifying the basis of PPT forms?" "

The manuscript is to choose a page from Zhihu:

01. To beautify a table, we can start with three parts: line, shape and color.

Next, I will share the beautification ideas with you one by one.

★ line is one of the most commonly used elements in PPT production. Just click on the shape of the following image to start drawing:

When optimizing the table, we can first remove all borders:

Change the header text to a larger font and increase the font size:

Next, it's time for the lines to appear, drawing lines for each row and column:

Is this the end of it?

Of course not. Even with the simplest lines, we can enhance the contrast and distinguish between primary and secondary.

The title bar of the table and the lines at the bottom of the table are treated by bold color change respectively:

If you have rows or columns in the table that you want to emphasize, you can also circle them with lines and weaken the title bar:

If the title block is not weakened, the following figure occurs:

Due to the large number of purple elements, it is difficult for readers to quickly concentrate on reading the text in the line box.

See here, there must be friends have doubts: directly select the table and modify the border style is not good, one can be thickened and discolored ah, drawing lines is not superfluous?

This is true, and it is a common practice, but with the method of line drawing, when you are proficient in distribution alignment, you will be more efficient and can produce more unconventional chart effects.

★ shape next, we start with the shape and further beautify the table.

First, highlight the title of the first line:

In front of us, we use lines to highlight, this time it is directly replaced by a rounded rectangle.

If you want to emphasize a column, you can add a substrate shape directly to the bottom of the text and change the text color from dark to light:

Here is a small detail, the horizontal line between the tables, and in order for you to see it more clearly, I'll bold one of them:

The lines are gray and are not obvious on the purple substrate on the right:

So the prominent part on the right side, you should draw some white lines on the top layer, so that the relationship between the text will be clearer:

★ colors if we want to distinguish between the subdivided audiences on the left, we can add a gradient shape below them:

To enhance the sense of hierarchy, you can also shadow them:

After shading, the effect is as follows:

Seeing this, some friends may think that there are so many gradual changes that they look very gaudy.

Then you can subtract and use gradient emphasis only for active users:

Sometimes in order to look good on the page, we will try to add more style effects at the beginning, resulting in the page gaudy and the focus is not prominent.

You can do subtraction boldly:

If you think it's too monotonous to change the gradient to blue, you can add it and change it to a different gradient:

This not only does not affect reading, but also makes the page a little playful and looks more active.

The above is the idea of using lines, shapes and colors to beautify the table.

If you want to further improve the sense of design, here is another idea: rotation

The following figure is an example:

We combine the color blocks in the purple area with the text, and then rotate them by 2 °4 °, not too much.

The effect of rotation is as follows:

If you want to highlight one of the lines, you can also change it to the following image:

Here's a design detail: you need to add an extra shape and shadow, and place it at the bottom of the rotation:

02. Reference style in work and study, if you only use the above methods to beautify the table, it will inevitably feel monotonous if you use too much.

Here is another optimization method: reference quality method.

The reference figure at the top of the analysis: orange as the focus, silver as the secondary key point, all using micro-gradients.

Apply it to the table:

So, where can I find similar reference pictures?

As a matter of fact, there are many petal webs. Just search UI design:

03. Adding the background mainly shares the optimization of the table style, but mainly focuses on the surface layer of the picture, and the background layer is also slightly monotonous.

Here are two more tips to help you with your PPT background.

★ dispersion shape prepare several shapes and fill in different colors. If you are not sure which color to choose, click on the following shapes with a color picker:

Select all shapes and adjust the soft edge values:

And then turn them all into pictures:

Place them around the page as embellishment:

Put in the previously revised form and try the effect:

★ gradient fill in addition to adding a diffuse shape, you can also set the background to a gradient fill.

First draw a full-screen rectangle, and then adjust the gradient fill in the shape format, with only two apertures:

Add the table and try the specific results:

At this point, the beautification of the form is over. Have you learned it?
