In this edition of PowerPoint Smart art tutorial series, you will learn the benefit of showcasing pictures using smart art. Here is a typical picture Showcase slide used by many business presenters. What you think about the slide?
Though the slide looks quite attractive in the first glance, there are some issues that makes the slide ineffective. The first issue is size inconsistency. The slide has images of different sizes, as a result, it looks like a mishmash of different photos or photo collage, rather than a neatly arranged album.

The second issue is in terms of confusing callouts. We still don’t know if this particular caption refers to the image above or below. Same way, this caption could refer to the image on the left or above. So the callouts are confusing.
Third issue is regarding alignment. As you can see here, the images are not properly aligned. All these issues arise because of one simple reason. Let us go to a new slide, and the typical way to insert a picture is to go to insert, pictures and you pick up pictures from a folder, and as you can see here, if ever to insert these two images there of different sizes.
If the images in the folder are of different sizes, then the result on the slide is also the same. So if ever to use this here, you can see that the sizes of these images are different. Because they are oriented in a different way. And this difference in size results in all kinds of inconsistencies.
Take a look at a picture Showcase using smart art. As you can see here the images are all of equal size. The reference is direct and therefore there is no confusion regarding the callouts. And alignment don’t exist.
That is the power of using smart art to showcase your pictures. The reason is, if I were to insert, and if I were to use one of the picture Showcase options - and in this case we are using this one. You can see that if I were to insert an image, I use the same image here. I go to - insert from a file, and I go to the same folder. I’m inserting this picture here. And if ever to insert the next picture, which is right next to it, which is of a different size here. I select that and I insert.
As you can see these images automatically align themselves or made into consistent size. As a result the slide looks more professional.
So the next time when you want to use picture showcase, make sure you use one of picture Showcase options available in SmartArt.
