Hi Ben,

It’s just a matter of getting used to the tools. Go into ‘Extrustion Options’ and click the Outline width symbol (two O’s inside each other). At the moment you have it pressed on, so only the outline of the letters is showing. Then try different fonts, colours and lighting. Press the lightbulb symbol at the top menu bar to see the different lights. Move these around and double click them to change the colour of the lights. Right click text to change text colour. Change the face colour this way too.

Minimize text when possible. A couple of words is much better than five. If you find the main heading for a presentation has too much text, handle it as normal text. Use the 3D image for some other part of the presentation, with fewer words. When you do use lots of text, take it easy on the extrusion. A very shallow extrusion is often easier to read than a deep one, when there is more text.

Play around with the program and you will gradually get better.
