The Award Winners!!! A Smart Art Exercise

Do you watch the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, or Grammys??  Choose an Award program that interests you.  Go to the award website:  ie: http://www.goldenglobes.org/.  Find the nominees and winners for the current year.  Choose three categories.

Using Smart Art create an organization chart that identifies the Award Program, the three categories, nominees, and winners:

• Insert > SmartArt > Heirarchy > Organization Chart > OK
• Note:  The SmartArt Tools > Design tab is now displayed.
• Add the Award Program name to the top shape.
• Delete the shape on the 2nd row.
• Key the categories into the three shapes below the "title."
• Add Shape for each nominee and the corresponding text.  I recommend using the Text Pane to do this. If you have more than four nominees you don't have to include them all.  Include at least four and of course one has to be the winner!
• Change the SmartArt Style in some way.  Check out all the options!!

Now it's time to Format the SmartArt.  Click on the Format tab:

• Make the "title" larger.
• Make the winner a different shape fill and shape effect.
• Change the text using a different WordArt Style.

Finally, CENTER THE SMARTART VERTICALLY ON THE PAGE.
