Latest SmartArt Graphics to Join the SmartArt Gallery

Hexagon Radial

This SmartArt can be used to show a sequence of events while retaining the focus on the central idea of the graphic. The outer hexagons are connected to each other by a lighter connecting color to highlight the flow of events, while the sharper hexagons add variety to an otherwise usual radial design. This SmartArt is limited to six Level 2 shapes and works best with small amounts of text.

Picture Frame

Picture Frame

Picture Frame enables you to add an offset frame or border to bind text to images. It is particularly important if you want to link text to images without using captions. If the image already contains text and the picture frame hinders text, use the Crop tool on the Picture Tools tab to move and resize the images without moving or resizing the shape containing the image.

Theme Picture Accent

Theme Picture Accent

Ideal to showcase a series of pictures with the first picture being the largest. The SmartArt graphic can hold up to six Level 1 pictures. The frame color of the pictures for this layout changes when you change the theme, to help the smaller pictures relate to the large picture in the middle. Group photos, birthday parties, top performers in the office are some scenarios where this SmartArt graphic can be applied.

Converging Text

You can use the Converging Text SmartArt graphic to show multiple steps that converge to create a single entity. For instance you can show activities or processes that result in a single product.
