IVANA OKARO: Hello everyone.
My name is Ivana Okaro.
I'm a student and a content creator
and today I'll be showing you how
to create a UGC portfolio using Microsoft PowerPoint.
After you've chosen your main font,
select Design and click this down
arrow to create a custom color theme.
I adjusted my background colors
accordingly and started adding in my text.
You'll want to at least have
an introduction samples, analytics,
and a services slide. Make
an effort to highlight your value and that of UGC,
also known as user-generated content,
which is a way for brands to partner with
creatives to produce engaging digital media.
Next, I add in my graphics,
beginning with the icons of
social media platforms that I'm active on.
The fun really begins with inserting different shapes.
Click Insert, then the Shape button, and draw your shape.
You'll have the option to change
the fill color and the outline. In my portfolio,
I played around with rounded rectangles and circles
and tried to think of creative arrangements
that would bring things to life.
I recommend taking your time to brainstorm
different layouts that match your vision and brand.
On the sample slide, I decided I would insert
a transparent image of a phone to present my past work.
Its dimensions may need to be
adjusted to fit your videos,
but likely PowerPoint makes this simple.
Next, I add in my images and videos.
First, I upload a picture of myself and crop
it into a shape by selecting picture format,
then clicking the down arrow next to crop.
I also add in images of
my analytics to improve my credibility.
You can insert videos by clicking
"Insert" the selecting video on the far right side.
I cropped my videos into
rounded rectangles and then made any size adjustments.
Lastly, I highlight my text and icons.
Insert link and hyperlink to
slides within my presentation, sites,
social pages, and more.
Finally, we have a completed portfolio
with slots to insert client logos,
convincing selling points, playable videos,
and links to key slides and social media pages.
If I can do it, trust me, you can too.
Pull up PowerPoint and let your creativity run free.
You are just to click away from endless possibilities.
