I personally as a student love google slides, but i never thought that this was possible. Thank you so much for making new and not outdated stuff about google slides! :)
I started following you during the 2016-17 school year. I was teaching in Napoleon, Ohio at that time and you did a PD for our school. Fast forward to now and I'm teaching HS Art in another district. I started a Digital Art class last year, and my kids have Chromebooks. So we do most of our stuff in Google Drawing, plus some animation in Slides. This Word Art project is perfect for my class! Last year I had them do a similar project in Pixlr, but I have wanted to be able to do this in Google Drawing. And with your tutorial video, now we can! I'm going to watch your advanced video next, but I just wanted to thank you for this. You always have the best resources and ideas. I use them often. Thanks for all you do!!
This is my second year teaching photography to middle schoolers (we are a virtual school) This is AMAZING!!!! I am going to get the project ready and launch this idea in a few weeks! I am excited... also Subscribed. You did a great job speaking and moving the information slowly while using much helpful details and explanation!
Thank you so much for this! I love using Google and all the tricks I'm seeing are for PPT. I'm resizing my slides as banners for the tops of my Canvas announcements. I wish I still worked with kids so I could do it with them! They would love this!
Thanks so much for this. One possibly helpful addition - if you choose "Transparent" for the border color (found at the bottom of the color options), it will allow for bolder letters showing even more of your photo.
@@ericcurts I forgot about this because my school year has ended, but I used this to entertain my audience in my dream vacation 25k dollar budget presentation. It went so well as finishing my 5th grade year and I got a good grade on it. Thanks!
So this is nice and all but what if i want to put the word art over an image of a city. Id like to have the word art be a clearer version of the slightly more opaque background.
Really fast version for those in a rush 1. Go to top and press insert 2. Insert word art and use all capitals 3. Change the font to 4. Download or find Zilla slab highlight font 5. Apply font 6. Make Border transparent 7. Change fill color to background color 8. Copy paste desired image 8. click on image then go to the top left and click arrange 9. click order and click set to back 10. adjust image until it fits the text
If you need to group items you can select the multiple items by Shift-clicking on them to select all of them, then you can do the grouping by right-clicking an choosing "Group" or by clicking "Arrange" in the top menu and then choosing "Group".
Unfortunately that is the only font Google currently offers that will work this way. Hopefully they will add more fonts that are color-inverted in the future. I would love to have more options to choose from as well. For now at least we have a way to do this.
If you think that is impressive, you should check out my follow-up video on advanced photo words which is 90 minutes long! th-cam.com/video/u2cjgtWaRPQ/w-d-xo.html
Video starts at 4:53.
I recommend skipping through everything.
you're a godamn lifesaver

bro it takes you sooo long to get to the point it was giving me anxiety. Land the plane buddy, land the plane.
So true😂
This really helped I need it for my learning journeying checkpoint/ school thanks I subscribed
Thanks, this was clear and helped me make my presentation look impressive.
Are you NOT the guy who narrates the Brightside channel?
Thanks for sharing not only the tool but also how to use it in the classroom. I'm looking forward to the webinar. When it will be ? I won't miss.
Thanks! The webinar will be Thursday, January 12th at 7pm EST. The links for the livestream are in the description of this video.
hi when i went to adjustments there was no transparency there was only opacity , brightness and contrast
Thanks
You are so welcome!
That was fantastic! Thank You!
You are so welcome!
Inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
i was wondering if you could put this over a different image? have a different image inside text OVER a seperate image
So its impossible to have a foto on the text and then have other foto on backround?
I have Word Art but no option for Tools my Chromebook is up to date. so IDK
So this is nice and all but what if i want to put the word art over an image of a city. Id like to have the word art be a clearer version of the slightly more opaque background.
is there a way to do this with another font?
Super!
Thanks!
Thank you so much

thank you
Great really helpful, It could be a video of one minute explaining instead 16 min, but thanks
Thank you so much Eric this was so helpful it looks amazing and is a very descriptive tutorial.
question. what does word art do?
How do we group it 🤨
If you need to group items you can select the multiple items by Shift-clicking on them to select all of them, then you can do the grouping by right-clicking an choosing "Group" or by clicking "Arrange" in the top menu and then choosing "Group".
thanks:)
How to add bg photo with photo word
5:54 for tutorial
I read wings of fire and i made one saying, " WHIRLPOOL SUCKS!"
SKIP TO 6 MINUTE IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THE BLABBER
Pretty useless tutorial if you want to use any other font.
Unfortunately that is the only font Google currently offers that will work this way. Hopefully they will add more fonts that are color-inverted in the future. I would love to have more options to choose from as well. For now at least we have a way to do this.
i found this not helpful as nothing matched the same and it kept bugging out and crashing.
15 minutes to show how to use a font 😭

Sooo slow
