5. Choose Colors and Fonts

To select fonts and colors, take a look at the RGB options. RGB stands for the primary colors Red, Green, and Blue. To find the desired shades, I recommend using a tool like rgbtool.com to easily determine the RGB values.

6. Add a 3D Background

If you want to achieve a special visual effect, you can insert a 3D background image. This technique allows you to animate the background at a different speed than the foreground, creating a spatial effect. Detailed explanations will follow in a later video.

An important element of your presentation can also be your logo, which you can insert into Prezi. It will always be displayed in the bottom left, which is significant for the corporate design.

On the right side of the customization menu, you can set the colors of the frames and arrows. Instead of typing in RGB values, you also have the option to use the wizard button. This tool simplifies color selection and presents you with a palette of pre-defined colors.

9. Customize Fonts in Detail

If the selection of fonts is not sufficient for you, you can customize the fonts in “Advanced Mode” through the CSS editor. Here, several blocks are listed that define the appearance of different fonts.
