Cool Shape Ideas: Distance Cartograms in PowerPoint

Before we dive into the world of distance cartograms (don’t worry, we’ll get there!), let’s start with the basics.

Cool Shape Ideas: Spirographs in PowerPoint

Yes, you can draw spirographs in any version of PowerPoint, just like you can chop veggies with a butter knife. But if you’re using PowerPoint 2007 or later versions (Windows or Mac), you’ve basically been handed a professional chef’s knife and a cutting board that doesn’t slide all over the place.
