So-called &#8220;fisheyes&#8221; are a unique way to present image content (for more inspiration, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/presentation-flow-leading-audiences-eye-effective-design\/\">this<\/a> blog entry).

Under <strong>Drawing Tools<\/strong>, go to <strong>Merge Shapes<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Subtract<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>You can also add lines and arrows to lead your audience from the fisheyes to the corresponding text boxes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8019 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Content2_guckloch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Content2_guckloch.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Content2_guckloch-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Content2_guckloch-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Option 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Follow the first two steps from option 1.<\/li>\n<li>Place a shape at the desired location and select a color for its outline under <strong>Shape Outline<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Right-click the shape to open the <strong>Format Shape<\/strong> Under <strong>Shape Options<\/strong>, go to <strong>Fill<\/strong> and select <strong>Slide background fill<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>You can now add text and even lines to your shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Add animations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Animations can be added to make the slide even more interesting.
