SmartArt Styles include shape fills, edges, shadows, line styles, gradients, and three-dimensional (3-D) perspectives and are applied to the entire SmartArt graphic.
There are many different SmartArt layouts that you can use to illustrate the steps in a process, including layouts that can contain pictures. This article explains how to create a flow chart that contains pictures.
You can find SmartArt tools on two tabs: the Format tab and the Design tab: The Design tab helps you change your SmartArt graphic's layout, to change the style, or to change the colors used in your SmartArt graphic.
SmartArt graphics with fewer concepts and fewer words are often most effective. If you cannot find the exact layout that you want, you can add and remove shapes in your SmartArt graphic to adjust the structure of the layout.
