Reminder there are differences between the printed presentation and the digital presentation. We suggest making a copy of the digital presentation slides in order to edit for correct printing.

Some pictures are shown alone (Cover, Page 2, Final Page, Back cover)

The rest of the slides in the middle are in pairs of two (3&4, 5&6, etc)

Financial Ask, Connecting with Others Ask, and Prayer Ask are accomplished with 2 slides

  • This way there is only one "Ask" viewed at a time.
  • Often the 2nd slide is a "filler" picture with no words
  • You can customize that filler, or use Reliant's template

Steps to Begin Preparing to Print

Converting Slide Deck to a Printed Photo Book

Make sure that when you begin editing your google slides for the printed presentation album that you begin with a template that has the correct dimensions. If you are using a Reliant template it should already be the correct template, but for example if you were sent a template from another Reliant employee because you wanted to borrow their slides from the same location, etc. make sure that before you begin adding your own photos that it is in the correct dimensions in order to be able to print correctly. It should be 8.5 x 5.5. You can view the picture below to see that you can confirm the dimensions both by looking at the measuring grid along the edges of the slide (8.5 on top and 5.5 on the side) or going to FILE and then selecting PAGE SETUP to view the dimensions.

Sometimes you will have to adjust the dimensions of your slides for electronic presentation viewing (such as switching it to widescreen for a projector presentation at a church, etc.) This is why we suggest making a copy of your presentation slides that is specifically just for printing.  We also will usually have added pages that are filler slides for printing that are not used during an electronic presentation so we highly encourage having a separate google slide document specifically just for the purpose of printing.

Note

It's important that you have high-quality digital photos. For help understanding photo quality, see Photo Resolution Help.

You’ll want to find 15-20 high-quality photos that include:

A picture for the cover of your presentation album. This is usually a general picture that represents your location (a famous spot on campus, in your city, etc.)

  • Pictures of people (individuals and groups) you’ve ministered to that help illustrate the needs of your ministry location

Other pictures that help illustrate the needs of your ministry location, including photos of your ministry location (photos of a college campus, for example).  You can potentially find specific photos used by others in your same ministry location in the Reliant google templates specific church ministry templates. 

Arranging the Pages for a Hardcover Photo Book

It’s very helpful to know that the even pages are going to be on the right and the odd pages will be on the left.
