-: Within this lecture I wanna show you
how you can possibly create pictograms,
meaning displaying data
with help of icons and visual elements.
This is the data I wanted to display.
Here I have a lower margin,
and then I have a big large margin for energy prices.
I wanted to showcase this on a light bulb.
Look on the right side.
I wanted to showcase that 72% of the energy price
is the margin of the selling company.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
But it's actually not about the data.
It's about what you can visualize with icon.
It's important that we use vector icons here.
This is an SVG icon.
If you have newest versions of PowerPoint, Microsoft 365,
you should be able to go to insert, icons,
and have graphical vector icons available here.
Let's, for example, select an apple.
Or what else do we have?
An apple would be completely fine
instead of this light bulb.
So we have a PowerPoint vector object right here.
We can change the graphics fill
to make it a bit more visible,
and I wanna show you what you can do.
If you would like to showcase 25% of like apple sales
or 25% of something, I would Ctrl+D
to duplicate this one, two, three.
We have now four apples.
I will take three of them.
Shift click the third one.
Right click, format object,
and I would increase its transparency.
This way I could display 25% of whole.
If I want 50%,
I would just reduce the transparency on the second one.
This is one way of utilizing data
and showing data as pictographs.
What I did here, for example,
I divided this light bulb into several objects.
You can do the same.
Let's take the apple, Ctrl+D,
and let's put it on the bottom.
If you would like to divide this apple,
maybe into three parts.
Ctrl+D, Ctrl+D.
Of course, put it next to each other.
And what I would do, I want to go to insert, shapes,
and I would insert a different shape
above this apple, like that.
For example, here, let me again change the color
so we see that better.
Ctrl+D, now I would make it the same but a bit higher, here,
and this way we can divide an apple
into one, two, three parts.
How do you do this?
Select the apple itself, the vector icon,
shift click on this shape,
shape format, merge shapes, and subtract.
If you selected them in the right order,
meaning the apple first and the shape second,
you should be able to use the merge shape tools to subtract.
You can also, of course, intersect fragment.
You will see how that feature works.
By subtracting, I'm deleting one object from the other.
Since those are vector shapes, vector objects,
PowerPoint can recognize them
and subtract one from the other.
Now, I would just need to go to my graphics fill,
and give the apple a different color here.
Give the apple a different color.
Maybe the red one is okay.
And then just put them one over the other.
Shift click, move them with shift.
Okay, Ctrl+G, and we now divided this apple
into almost equals parts.
If you use pictographs
you don't always have to be perfectly precise
with the percentage, as long as visually it looks very good.
This is a bonus lecture.
It's very difficult to use that instead of normal charts,
but there are situations
when you run into your presentations
when you have a given topic
and you can display it with pictures.
Keep that in mind. Remember that for the future.
Maybe you will have some ideas.
This depends on your creativity, but from time to time
it's nice to create a slide with icons.
Thank you.
Practice this a little bit here within PowerPoint.
I'll try to share an icon.
Either use this light bulb or this apple,
and you can work a little bit with it around.
