Award Winner Smart Art Exercise

Do you watch the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, or Grammys??  Choose an Award program that interests you.  Go to the award website:  ie: http://www.goldenglobes.org/.  Find the nominees and winners for the current year.  Choose three categories.

Using Smart Art create an organization chart that identifies the Award Program, the three categories, nominees, and winners:

  • Insert > SmartArt > Heirarchy > Organization Chart > OK
  • Note:  The SmartArt Tools > Design tab is now displayed.
  • Add the Award Program name to the top shape.
  • Delete the shape on the 2nd row.
  • Key the categories into the three shapes below the "title."
  • Add Shape for each nominee and the corresponding text.  I recommend using the Text Pane to do this.
  • Change the SmartArt Style in some way.  Check out all the options!!
Now it's time to Format the SmartArt.  Click on the Format tab:
  • Make the "title" larger.
  • Make the winner a different shape fill and shape effect.
  • Change the text using a different WordArt Style.
Finally, CENTER THE SMARTART VERTICALLY ON THE PAGE.
