In this video, you will learn how to use good habit number three, which is to practice quiet design. You will learn how to simplify slides in Storyline 2 to only include important and relevant information to get your point across in the clearest way possible.
- [Instructor] Another good habit to keep in the back…of your mind while you're creating your Storyline projects…and thinking about visual design…is to use something called quiet design.…Let's go to slide 4 of our Good Habits project here…Let's go to slide 4 of our Good Habits project here…where we see some text.…You can see some text down below running off the slide…and a number of images.…I'm just wondering if we really need all those images.…Quiet design means removing content that's…not necessarily relevant or required on your slide…to get the message across,…creating a lot of white space, for example, a good idea.…
So we'll go to the San Francisco clip art.…Hold down your shift key and select the other images,…including the character.…And we'll press delete on the keyboard.…You may also see an area on the slide for a subtitle.…You can click that.…We don't need it.…Delete that.…We do have the content we want to keep.…I don't even think that we need the line.…We'll select the line going between "Take the Quiz!"…
