TLC Creative’s 2019 Top 10 – #6
And 2019 also had the addition of Amber’s always happy and smiling baby Eli! Sorry to the shows that have been missing Amber, she is back in the studio providing amazing design, but it will be a bit longer until you see her backstage.

2019 is the year we found the right person to turn over lots of the financial tasks too – which has freed Lori and Troy to focus more on design, clients and other operation needs. Lane Romanick is our go to person for invoices, payroll and financial reports!

2019 had several staff updates. A highlight is Jake Seeyle joining the fun at TLC Creative and translating his design skills to PowerPoint presentation design AND becoming another showsite GFX op! Good to have you here Jake!

TLC Creative’s 2019 Top 10 – #10
Sometimes things work together amazingly. This is a first for us – and it was great. Troy and Lori had separate shows in Europe, were able to coordinate an extended stay and enjoy a weekend in Vienna before flying back together!
TLC Creative’s 2019 Top 10!
We are wrapping up December, and 2019, with a look back at our Top 10 moments here at TLC Creative Services. Each day’s image for composited in PowerPoint (hey, it’s what we do!) and the last day of the year will be the animated version.
“New” Shape Styles Presets
So why the quotes around “new” for this post’s title? Well, this is not really a new feature in PowerPoint, but it has come up on conversations enough recently for me to realize this addition to shape styling that has been in PowerPoint since January of this year (maybe earlier), has not been noticed by everyone.
PowerPoint Format Presets
Shape styles are preset formatting options for PPT vector shapes. Color options are based on the template color scheme, accents 1-6 and either the light or dark background style. When content is moved to a new presentation, the colors auto update to that presentation color scheme. In the latest roll out of updates, Microsoft expanded to include a new level of these styles called “presets.”
These new shape styles presets include five styles: transparent, transparent with colored outline, semi-transparent with no outline, colored fill with no outline, and lastly, gradient fill with no outline. These styles can quickly be applied to any shape with a click of a button. Happy stylizing!
