A picture is worth at least a thousand words. If you need to communicate information quickly and vividly, graphics are the best tool in your toolbox. In this chapter, you will add graphic elements, such as WordArt, to a brochure. SmartArt graphics provide a gallery of predesigned diagrams such as lists, processes, cycles, hierarchies, and relationships that help you communicate your ideas. Borders and page color add a polished look to your brochure. Live preview galleries allow you to quickly test many choices while deciding what looks best for your brochure. All these and more help you create materials that are both dynamic and informative.
