Good, static infographics in a PowerPoint presentation can be utilitarian – they do their job and quite effectively.
But do they induce a sense of awe in the watching audience? Do they manage to take them out of the rut of watching a PowerPoint presentation where they are fed information and not allowed to think?
If that’s what you want your business PowerPoint presentation to do, then you need to make your infographics dynamic – don’t settle for flat, limp imagery that doesn’t excite your audience.
Animating infographics in PowerPoint 2010 is an easy process.

You can customize animation effects for each element through the Custom Animation menu.
As you can see, infographics which have been animated do help in creating a PowerPoint presentation that is dynamic and visually impressive.
