How to Add Clipart to Your Presentation

There are more than a couple ways to add clipart to what you're doing. How you add it will really depend on where you're getting your clipart from. The ideal way is to download it on your computer and insert it into your document. Here are a few tips to make your flyer or handout go from ordinary to extraordinary:

• The eye moves from left to right so in general, if you have a handout with a lot of words you want to add a megaphone or something else in the top left hand corner.

• This is definitely one case where less is more. Choose one or two good images to use and then save the rest for anther time. Too much clipart in one handout makes the piece looked "cluttered."

• Consider using a simple cheer border with small megaphones or pom pons to divide forms.

• Remember too that you can use sports themed clipart as well.

How to Turn Clipart Into a Poster

Have you found a super great megaphone image that you'd like to use in a larger poster but you're not sure how to do it? This is a sure fire way to get that image onto a larger poster to hang up in the hallway.

Take a Small Megaphone Clipart Image and Making It Bigger

Sometimes, to take a small image and copy it or enlarge it, you have to put it on two separate pieces of paper, or when you enlarge it, the image becomes distorted. While this is a little time consuming, high school cheerleaders (or even junior high cheerleaders) are almost always willing to do the work and the product comes out much nicer.

• Step 1: Copy your megaphone image onto an overhead film. It's best if this is not copied by hand but that you run it through a copier. (Tip: Make sure you have the right kind of overhead film that can go through a copier.)

• Step 2: Obtain a large piece of poster board or white paper- whatever you want your image to go on. Tape it to the wall at a comfortable height.

• Step 3: Put the overhead image into an overhead projector and voila! You'll see your image right there on the wall projected onto your paper. You will probably have to adjust the project to get it just right.

• Step 4: Trace the megaphone in pencil first. When you're finished, you can take it down and add color and other finishing touches!

Ideas for Using Megaphones in Your Clipart

When you're thinking about how to use your clipart, think about why you use a megaphone. You use it to get the crowd's attention. Likewise, megaphone clipart is a great way to make announcements like these:
