Using pre-made elements in Infographics (Prezi Design)

Speed up your workflow and ease the design process by adding pre-made elements to the canvas. With elements, you don't have to worry about proper object arrangement, and you can save time on content creation.

You can choose elements from ten different categories: timelines, notes, image blocks, callouts, icon blocks, flowcharts, galleries, diagrams, lists, and plans.

Adding elements to the canvas

  1. Head over to the toolbar on the left and click on Add element.
  2. Look for something specific by using the search bar at the top or pick one of the categories.
  3. When you've found an element you'd like to use, click on it or drag-and-drop it onto the canvas.

Editing the elements

All elements are groups of separate objects. You can edit the whole group together (resize it or add an animation) or customize individual parts of the element.

  • To resize the element, hover over one of its corners and drag it inwards or outwards.
  • If you wish to customize a specific part of the element, double click on it and introduce the changes in the settings panel on the right, or type in your text if it's a text box.
  • To ungroup the element, go to the settings panel on the right and click Ungroup element.

Timelines

If you'd like to visualize a list of events or steps to be carried out within a larger process, timelines will do the trick. There are various timelines with numbers, dates, icons, charts, etc.

 

Notes

Notes_PD.pngUse a note if you'd like to add a stylized message for your audience or colleagues. In this category, you'll find notes of various shapes, colors, and sizes.

 

Image blocks

Image_blocks_PD.pngImage blocks are groups of images and text objects—they're placed either side-by-side, one above the other, or one on top of the other. These are great for sharing an image and telling the story behind it.

 

Callouts

Icon blocks

All of the items in this category include icons in pairs with text elements or images. With icon blocks, you can place some additional emphasis on the content that you've added.

 

Flowcharts

Galleries

Diagrams
