PowerPoint’s Vector Toolkit: Built for Designers

Wednesday, July 01

11:15 am - 12:15 pm (Chicago)

Leave aside your pixels, your JPEGs, and your PNGs, and dive into all that PowerPoint can do with vector content. In this session, you’ll shift your mindset from pixels to paths and learn how to build graphics that stay editable, scalable, and lightweight.

Explore how PowerPoint handles shapes, illustrations, icons, charts, and type as true vector objects. This session will get you using PowerPoint more like Illustrator and less like Photoshop to create dynamic and editable graphics while keeping file size to a minimum. You’ll walk away with concrete techniques for creating cleaner, more flexible graphics that hold up in real-world PowerPoint workflows.

You will learn how to:

  • Draw and refine custom shapes using Bezier curves and PowerPoint’s shape-editing tools
  • Combine, subtract, and intersect shapes using PowerPoint’s pathfinder-style commands
  • Gain more control over type, SVGs, and charts by converting them to pure vector shapes
  • Learn the best techniques and file formats for icons, logos, and illustrations
