PROJECT STEPS

• As the personnel security analyst for Focux Safeguards Training, you provide
  companies with their annual ID badge refresher training. You also want to
  enhance the first part of your presentation.
  Start by creating a custom design element on the Slide 1 title slide (“Focux
  Safeguards Training”) as follows:
  a. Use Smart Guides to position the yellow sun shape on top of the purple
  starburst shape as shown in Figure 1.
  b. Send the yellow sun shape to the back.
  c. First select the purple starburst shape, and then select the yellow sun
  shape. Merge the two shapes using the Subtract option.
  d. Change the merged shape’s height to 1.3″. Allow the width to adjust
  automatically.
  e. Use Smart Guides to position the merged purple shape in the light blue
  box as shown in Figure 2.

   points as follows:
