How Easily You Can Create Graphics in PowerPoint

The other day I was looking at the AI Vault web site.  I ran across a tutorial on creating an envelope icon.  It’s a great tutorial and relatively easy to do.  However, the tutorial is targeted for Illustrator users.

Looking over the tutorial, I wondered if I could follow the steps to recreate the icon in PowerPoint.  So I went through the Illustrator tutorial and came up with the image below.  It was easy to do and only took a few minutes.

Obviously the steps are a bit different and since PowerPoint is not as robust as Illustrator, you have some limitations.  However, with all that said, it proves that PowerPoint can be an effective graphics tool when building your rapid elearning courses.

Another benefit to this exercise is learning to use PowerPoint in new ways.  While you may never need this envelope icon, if you practice building it, you will learn how to use PowerPoint’s features.  And you’ll have an experience that you can rely on for future design ideas.

Here’s a quick tutorial where I walk through the process of creating the icon in PowerPoint.
