The shape on your slide looks perfect. It’s got the right color and it works well with your slide content. Yet there’s something that could be better? There are times when most slide designers think exactly the same thoughts! And the easiest task you can do to your shape is to flip it. There are other options, and some of these options depend upon the shape in question.

Generally, callout shapes are connected to another figure or visual, and these shapes contain some text. Callouts are not just any shape. Most of the time, callouts also have an attached line, arrow, or another pointer style that identifies it with a certain figure or visual. So in simple terms, callouts are those extra shapes with text that add value to other visuals. On their own, you’ll hardly find callouts used anywhere.
