5 Tips for Using Infographics in PowerPoint
You've just seen some of the best infographic templates in PowerPoint. Now, let's review some tips that'll help you make the most of them:
1. Choose the Right Design
We've highlighted many templates in this round-up. Together, the templates have hundreds of different infographics that you can use to illustrate key ideas.
The most important part of working with infographic templates in PowerPoint is choosing the right visual to showcase your data. Before you start dropping your data into an infographic, review your options to choose the right one. For example, the overlapping concentric circles below show how the shared parts of ideas versus the divergent points.
Spending time choosing the right infographic is crucial. Think about the type of visual that showcases your idea effectively.
2. Convert Basic Data to Infographics
When you begin working with infographic templates in PowerPoint, you might be unsure of when to use them. What situations are the right time to use infographics?
One of the best opportunities is to take basic, flat data and re-arrange it into an infographic. In the example below, basic data points on followers and engagement were transformed and brought to life with a thematic infographic.
3. Use Infographics Sparingly
Even though I'm a big proponent of using infographics, it's not wise to fill an entire presentation with them. Use an infographic PowerPoint template sparingly, saving them for your big ideas.
As always, presentations benefit from variety. It's not ideal to use an infographic for every concept in a presentation. Instead, save them for a few key slides and your audience will focus in on them.
4. Add Tasteful Animations
Most PowerPoint infographics feature many steps or objects in an infographic. With all those individual components, it's ideal to "phase them in", step-by-step.
This is where PowerPoint animations are so useful. With the help of animations, you can introduce each section of the infographic elegantly.
Make sure to check out our tutorial to master PowerPoint animations, then add them to your PPT infographic template:
5. Connect on Social With An Infographic
Every successful presentation creates action. A great infographic can serve as the start of a conversation with an audience member.
One popular infographic that continues to grow in popularity is a social infographic. It gives you the chance to show your social media channels and connect with the audience.
Use a social slide to list your channel and show your audience the presence of your social channels. It builds credibility. It also gives your audience the chance to get in touch and follow your content after.
How to Quickly Customize Premium Infographic PowerPoint Templates
Throughout this article, we've touted PowerPoint infographic templates. These are the best way to jump ahead while designing your presentation.
These templates might not look like the final slide you've got in mind. But that's why we customize them. A PowerPoint infographic template is just a starting point, not a finished product.
In this section, we'll customize three PowerPoint infographics slides from the Sante template on Envato Elements. Let's walk through three examples.
1. The Bubble Timeline
There are many forms of infographics, and timelines are one of the most popular.
When you use a timeline, you can link events together. In fact, you can also use it to chart a path to the future. Slide 47 in our design is a neat bubble timeline slide. Here are three steps I took to customize it:
- Remove several bubbles. I'm a minimalist by trade. Removing objects in an infographics slide makes it more readable. I removed about half of the intermediate bubbles by clicking on them and pressing Delete on my keyboard.
- Update text. On the remaining bubbles, update the captions with text that reflect the steps that show progression.
- Create a forecast. It's optional, but I chose to make half of the bubble steps a forecast of the future. To the right of the middle circle, I made all the points predictions and projections for the future.
2. The Triangle Slide
Triangles are a common shape for infographics, and it's easy to see why. Three pillars fit together for a cohesive message.
Slide 51 is a stunning design for a slide infographic. Here are my three customizations:
- Separated objects. I love the triangle diagram, but it felt a bit crowded. I clicked on the separate shapes, then pulled them apart to give the slide more space.
- Updated text. Each section of the triangle stands for a pillar of my company's principles. I updated both the text boxes and the text on the triangle to represent each of the three principles.
- Minimalist approach. Throughout this slide, I've reduced the amount of text used. With fewer text boxes to focus on, the audience is more likely to focus on my key points.
3. The Map Slide
With the help of a map slide, you can create a geographic-based infographic. Slide 64 in our template is perfect for a map slide.
In my case, I'm going to use this slide to show that my company is a remote-friendly company. Here are the adjustments I made to make this slide shine:
- Recolored the states. Each of the states on our map is a shape of its own. Click on a state and choose a new color on the Format > Shape Fill dropdown. In my case, I recolored the states where I've got a presence.
- Update the data. My statistics on the right side are different than the placeholders. So, I typed over the numeric values and adjusted them with relevant details.
- Update the slide title. I typed over the slide header to add my specifics and make a strong impression.
