Revealing picture piece by piece

Post by tnrc75 »

Hi there, I'm a teacher in Asia, and by way of an ice-breaker for new students at our school, we teachers are trying to paste our faces, hidden, atop superheroes' bodies and have the kids guess which teacher is which. We then want to slowly reveal that by removing portions of the cover, hopefully in six pieces. I've looked around but can't figure out how to do it. Any ideas? Thanks very much.

Greetings and welcome to the community forum!

Maybe lay six shapes over the image and add an "exit" animation effect to each one? Each click with the mouse will remove one shape.

The Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are not pixel graphic editor softwares.
Use a free pixelgraphic picture editor for editing the six part of the "cover" image. (Or you can use simple dolor shapes.)
But the AOO and LO can handle the pictures: you can insert them into a slide, arrange them on a slide, and can remove them from a slide.

Here's a sample with four shapes covering the image.
