SmartArt graphics are visual representations of your information and ideas. SmartArt itself consists of several selected categories, including: List, Process, Cycle, Hierarchy, Relationship, matrix, Pyramid, and Picture. Combined with other features such as themes, SmartArt helps you create quality presentation illustration designs with just a few mouse clicks.

When you choose a layout for a SmartArt graphic, ask yourself what you want to convey and whether you want your information to look different. As part of this process, when you create a SmartArt graphic, you are asked to select a category such as Process, Hierarchy, or Relationship. A category is similar to other SmartArt Graphics categories, and each category contains several different layouts.
