Step-by-Step PowerPoint Tutorial: 3D Infographic Design
1. Go to the Insert tab and select the Right Triangle shape from the Shapes menu.
2. Draw the triangle on your slide and rotate it to match the design.
3. Duplicate the triangle by pressing Ctrl + D.
4. Expand the width of the duplicated triangle.
5. Position the wider triangle beside the original, aligning their pointed ends.
6. Duplicate the triangle again to create another copy.
7. Expand its width and adjust its position to create a layered effect.
8. Select all three triangles and duplicate them.
9. Go to Shape Format β Rotate β Flip Horizontal to mirror the duplicated shapes.
10. Arrange both sets of triangles so their pointed ends meet at the center, creating a symmetrical design.
11. Insert a Rectangle and draw it horizontally across the middle of the design.
12. Select all the triangles and the rectangle.
13. Go to the Shape Format tab.
14. Click Merge Shapes and select Fragment to divide the overlapping shapes into separate pieces.
15. Delete the unnecessary fragments, keeping only the shapes needed for the design.
16. Change each shape's fill color, using different shades of dark blue, gray, light blue, and orange.
17. Drag the fragmented shapes toward the bottom of the slide to create the base of your infographic.
18. Go to Insert β Shapes and select the Up Arrow shape.
19. Draw the shape and adjust its yellow control handles to create a tall, pointed column.
20. Position the column above the first section of the fragmented base.
21. Duplicate the column and repeat the process for the remaining sections. Adjust their heights and colours to create a six-column 3D infographic.
22. Add your icons, titles, descriptions, and numbers to each column: Idea, Research, Planning, Startup, Business, and Success.
23. Select all the infographic content, including the shapes, icons, text, and numbers.
24. Go to the Animations tab and apply the Fly In entrance animation.
25. Click Effect Options and choose From Left to make the infographic elements enter from the left side of the slide.
26. You're done! Preview your presentation to see your animated 3D PowerPoint infographic in action.
