Here are some common use cases for notebook paper effects:
- Slide Backgrounds: Using torn or notebook paper graphics as slide backgrounds can lend a textured and realistic look. This is a great way to add depth and visual interest to the slides, making them visually appealing and engaging for the audience.
- Section Dividers: Torn paper graphics can serve as creative section dividers between different topics or sections within a presentation. Using torn edges or notebook paper elements to separate content creates a visual break and aids in chunking the information clearly and visually pleasingly.
- Image Frames: Another common way to use the notebook paper effect is for image frames or visuals.
- Handwritten Notes: Notebook paper graphics are a great way to create an informal tone in your presentation or course design. Instead of using basic rectangles to hold content, try using a paper graphic with handwriting font to give the design a more personal tone.
- Callouts and Annotations: notebook paper graphics can be used as callouts or annotations to highlight important information or key points on a slide. Placing text or visuals within a notebook paper graphic allows you to draw attention to a particular area or piece of content, making it more visually impactful.
- Creative Element Overlays: Torn paper or notebook paper graphics can be overlaid on other design elements, such as illustrations or charts, to add a unique and artistic touch. This layering effect creates visual depth and interest, enhancing the visual appeal and memorability of the presentation design.
