Create a custom branding package of reusable annotations that fit your own needs. Learn how to customize any annotation to meet your unique needs. Then step through the process of saving that annotation as a custom branded annotation that you can re-use over and over again to practice creating simple annotations and customizing the animated graphics.
- [Teacher] Let's look at a practical example…for how to use annotations and…begin creating our own custom branding packages.…I've pulled a short clip from our Tabs project…where we select the menu item.…Let's begin by zooming in to 100%,…and then hold down the Spacebar,…and click and drag to reposition your window…so you can get a good, close view…of the upper left hand corner of the screen.…Selecting items is a very common practice…in an instructional screen cast.…So, you've many ways to call attention…to this action if needed.…
Strive to design your annotations…so that they add clarity to your actions,…but don't distract.…Being consistent and deliberate…with the visual language you create…and how you employee it will help…to establish your brand, and set your…screencast apart from the crowd.…Begin by adding a shape annotation onto your canvas.…Since we know that all of the shapes…within a particular tab are roughly the same object,…it doesn't matter which one you select.…I'll drag this triangle shape in from the urban styles.…
