Presentation Graphics

 

Not every presentation drawing is a work of art. Some are quick sketches.

I made this by scanning a large free hand drawing and then brought it into PowerCadd as a PDF, where I used SketchTools to add the color, and of course I added the text. The table is also a placed PDF, from Excel. The main thing about it is the ease with which I could add the color. And it would not be possible without transparancy, obviously.

Here's a close-up look at this sketch.

  

 

Another hand sketch decorated in PowerCADD, with lots of gradient fills.

  

 

And for a finished presentation, Michael Spencer does this.

  

 

Note the extensive use of shadows.

The process to make the Preserve area: I drew the outline with the Cloud tool, copied the filled polygons into a Photoshop document, applied filters, saved at a PICT, went back to PowerCADD, placed the PICT in the appropriate layer, converted the PICT to a bitmap to get ride of the white stuff around it, and then applied shadows. It's a very quick process.
