Your goal will rarely be to impress your audience with stunning graphics. The primary purpose
of your images is to reinforce the goal identified from the document or presentation. If you‟re
selling a product or service, then your pictures need to reinforce your message. If you‟re training
employees, then your images need to make the spoken and written words more impressive and
more comprehensible. Remember, your images only support you and never the center of your
document or slideshow.

Activity 1: Make my Infographic:
Directions: Are you amazed on the infographics that you see around you and online? Why not
make your own and see how easy it is. Do this activity to make one.
The other way to do it is manually by navigating to the “Format Background” option on the far
right of the Design tab. Clicking this option will display a dialogue box that gives you a few
different options, including setting a background image from an uploaded file of your choice
and creating gradient options:
Go to the insert tab and select “SmartArt”; then choose the type of element you would like to
include. You can play around and have fun, as there are many options. It‟s fully possible to
create everything else needed for a truly dynamic infographic using nothing but SmartArt. Pick
one to start with and click “OK”:
Finally, select the color you would like to use from the “Change Color” option. If you selected a
theme when choosing your background, your elements will all default to theme colors. If not,
you will need to choose them manually, and you can tweak colors even if you have a theme in
use:

Once your shape has been inserted, use the options that appear at the top to choose your color.
You can use one of the preset options or the “Shape Fill” and “Shape Outline” options to select
custom colors. You can also use the “Shape Effects” function to make your shape a little more
dynamic:

Once you have your shape looking exactly as you want it, add a text box by going to the Insert
tab and choosing “Text Box.” You can add multiple text boxes and tweak the fonts, sizes, and
colors, and then move them around so they are arranged as you want them over your shape.:
You can use the Insert tab to add an image as you have added shapes and text boxes and
combine your images with both in exactly the same manner we used in step 5. The easier way,
however, is to take advantage of SmartArt elements that include images. Go back to the
SmartArt function and insert a new element that includes images; edit it, as we did in step 4; and
then click on any of the empty image icons:
A dialogue box will appear, giving you various options for choosing a source for your image.
Find the file you want to use and insert it. Repeat this as many times as necessary to replace all
empty images with custom images. This will help you create dynamic elements for your
infographic:
