Step-by-Step Guide
Start by creating a dashboard in PowerPoint. First, make sure you have the slides available that you want to use for your tiles.
Next, select a slide that is relevant for the dashboard, such as one related to social media. Choose the necessary elements.
Now here's the trick: Insert a transparent image over the tile-like elements. This allows you to overlay the tile without editing the original slide.
To create a transparent image, take any image and crop it so that only the necessary transparent area remains. Make sure to adjust the image accordingly to achieve a good effect.
Once you have enough transparency, you can start cropping. Ensure that the image is clearly visible but does not obscure the background content.
After finishing the cropping, save the transparent image and change the original image to the new transparent image. With this technique, you can easily create new buttons and tiles.
Once you have inserted the transparent image, make sure to adjust the border. You want to ensure that no outline is displayed, so the tiles are harmoniously integrated into your layout.
Now it's time to test the interactive buttons. Click on the tiles and make sure they lead to the correct slides. Also, verify the navigation between slides to ensure everything works correctly.
You can change the buttons as many times as you want to ensure the dashboard works correctly. Creating an effective dashboard can take only a few minutes with the right technique.
If you encounter difficulties during the process, following the process steps and making adjustments as needed will help refine your end product.
In less than 10 minutes, you can create an impressive dashboard that will impress your audience. Make sure to present all explanations and adjustments as clearly as possible.
Keep in mind that there is always room for improvement. Experiment and discover new ways to make your dashboard even more appealing.
