Hello there and welcome. In this tutorial. I 
would like to show you how you
can go over a Pie chart in PowerPoint. 
I want to show you how you can use
interesting colors for it, how to make 
one information stand out 
and how to overall make the slide 
easy to read for everyone.
Okay then I will not waste 
any time and keep going.
At first, as usual I delete everything 
because I want a clean 
slide, and this time we will 
work with dark colors.
I have already prepared a color scheme. 
This color scheme is this time a bit 
more dark because we always go for those 
bright slides, so I will eyedropper,
select the color and I will select 
my background color. It’s a dark 
blueish color. Now, if I do want 
a chart on the left side,
, I would go to insert – I will 
go to charts and I would 
select my Pie chart because in this 
lesson we will work with a Pie chart. 
Okay, the simple Pie chart is 
alright. Once you have put it
into PowerPoint, you then can select 
the appropriate values here and
you can go with values, you can go with 
percent. Let’s for example try percent’s. 
I will go 25%, 60%, 
5% and what I have 
left? I have left 
10% as I count properly. 
70 into 95. Okay,
100%. Like that and this 
would be my prepared 
Pie chart. I don’t need the chart 
anymore and I would like
it to be more clean. I can either 
click on it and delete it 
or on the right side, you 
have this plus button.
This chart element button allows 
you to add different element 
on the chat like here. For example, 
I do not want the legend
to be displayed, but I would like the 
percentage to be displayed here.
Okay, data labels. This is data 
labels and I can open 
them and select where should they 
be displayed. On the center, inside
end, outside end? Okay, 
let’s at first select 
inside end, but what if… 
if you would like 
them to be above here with 
the biggest and the 25%
one inside. That’s no problem. 
This is a simple element
which you can click and drag and 
place everywhere you want. So,
I will click and drag those two here, and 
we will later see how does this look. 
Okay, I do not like those 
white borders, so I would 
click on each object – I will go 
to format – shape outline and
select no outline. I do this for 
all four of them. Okay,
now I have no outline. Now I need to 
select my color scheme and 
I do not like those many 
colors. It’s very clean 
 and simple if you select one 
strong color, so one 
background color and one strong 
color and the strong color will 
be the thing that you will be explaining on this slide. 
So let’s say that I will select the entire
chart – I will go to shape fill – 
once again eyedropper 
and I will select my dark 
color… oh sorry, I filled this 
object, I wanted to fill this 
shape. Yup, Eyedropper,
is this the color? Yup, it is. Okay, 
now we don’t see anything. 
That, why I would select each 
object and place them a
bit to the left, a 
bit to the left…
and maybe this will be the pain part, so 
the main part will be a bit further away. 
If you have no space, just try 
and make it a bit bigger. 
Okay, like this. Those 2 
could be closer. 
I want them to be 
kind of equal, 
and maybe this is too far away, I am 
sorry! I will make it like this. Okay,
and this one should have a different 
color. So I will select this one, 
shape fill once again – 
eyedropper and I will select
my stronger outline color. 
Okay, now I have the text. 
You can click on the text and I need this 
text to be white because it’s not visible. 
I will go to home – I will go to text 
colors and I will make it white. 
Maybe also ctrl +B 
like bold, bigger 
so we see it better. Okay, 
and this 60% should
be more in the center. 
This 25%, well let’s
see, it can be also 
on this object.
Now I think my Pie 
chart is pretty
okay. it could stay on the left side 
of the screen. Oh sorry! 
And this is how I would approach 
to design a Pie chart.
Now, the right side would be filled out 
with for example text or object. 
I would go to insert – text box 
and I would stay within
this color range. So this 
would be the slide title
or let me call Pie chart. So I will select 
Pie chart and let’s experiment
with the colors. This will be 
the stronger, bolder one.
We should maybe stick to white 
text and just at orange
element, like this would 
be my title. Okay, and
I would make an orange underline. 
Go to insert – shapes,
take a simple line or a simple 
rectangle or a rounded rectangle.
Maybe we will take a rounded 
rectangle, boom! Like this. 
No outline orange. 
Okay, I think this 
looks quite nice. I will make 
this of course a bit smaller. 
Yup, this seems okay 
under the text, 
then I would take the text. 
Okay, take the sample text. 
Of course make it white, make it… 
oh, it can be adjusted like
this or maybe justified 
to the slides, 
smaller. Perfect. And I 
think this looks good.
Maybe another 
point here, so
you see the color stick… the orange really 
stands out and I would need to make equal
spaces here. Then I would take 
this object, place a button 
or something important on this side 
and this could again underline 
this color what you have 
this point like 25%
% growth over the year. 
So this would be like the most 
important information, and
I could be sneaky, I could select 
this text. I could go to my
text color, eyedropper and select the 
background text. Now, this 
would make a nice overlay button 
and the text would appear
as if it would be cut 
out of this object. 
Okay, even bold, boom! 
And I think this
would be my prepared slide with the Pie chart.
A very simple, a very clean one 
with strong colors and the Pie chart… 
instead of having 10 colors and
like PowerPoint is for example 
trying us to make those
colorful ones. Well, they are okay 
but remember that you can 
also go with simplified colors 
and just underline one 
big data which you want to explain on the 
slide and which stands out here.
I do really hope you did like this tutorial 
and this was enjoyable for you
to watch. Thank you very 
much for your attention. 
My name is Andrew Pach, and I will 
see you in the next video.
