Shapes

A very simple element of the Prezi bubble menu which gets overlooked a lot is the Insert|Shapes option. In this part of the chapter, we'll look at some things you may not have known about how shapes work within Prezi.

Tip

Shortcut for shapes

To quickly enter the Shapes menu when working in the Prezi canvas, just press the S key on your keyboard.

Get creative

In the first part of this chapter, we looked at the assets from a template called OurProject. Some of those assets were the line drawings shown below the male and female characters.

When you see these "Doodles" as they're titled, you might think they've been drawn in some kind of graphics package and inserted into the Prezi canvas as you would anything else. On closer inspection in edit mode, you can see that each of the characters is actually made up of different lines from the Shapes menu.

This is a great use of the line tool and we'd encourage you to try and create your own simple drawings wherever you can. These can then be reused...
