How to Create a Venn Diagram Using Google Slides

Below, in the article, we will, of course, skip the chalk drawing and tell you how to create a Venn diagram using Google Slides. This skill is helpful for both a freelancer who creates slides for a fee and a seasoned businessman who needs to explain his ideas to investors or the general public. Two circles. What could be easier?

Let’s Create a Venn Diagram using Google Slides

Here are two intersecting circles. This is a Venn diagram created using Google Slides software.

Let’s draw it all by ourselves. Open a new slide in your Google Slides, and let’s get started.

1. Go to the instrumental tab and select the Oval shape in the Shape button drop-down menu.
   
   

   

2. Select a suitable place on the slide, press the left mouse button, and draw a circle.
   Tip: if you want a perfect circle, press and hold the Shift key. Otherwise, you may end up with an oval instead of a circle.
3. Follow step 2 and draw another circle.
   Tip: you can just copy Ctrl-C, paste Ctrl-V a copy of the first circle, and then move it on the slide to the position you need.
4. Here’s what you got in your Google Slides:
   
   

   

   
   So far, it’s just two circles. In order for them to become a Venn diagram that you will show to investors or the general public, you need to add color to each and some transparency. For example, blue, yellow, and 50%.
   

   

   
   These properties are set using the Fill Color tool.

Finally, if you did everything right in Google Slides, then your Venn diagram should look like this:

Notice how the two colors blend at the intersection of the circles. This is the essence of the Venn diagram. It shows how two entities, two sets, interact and how a third entity is formed from this interaction.

However, it is better to talk about this later.

Venn Diagram Elements

Individual elements of Venn diagrams can be very informative and are therefore used to make presentations more visual. Below we will say a few words about them.

Union

The element of the Venn diagram structure which is called Union illustrates a combination of two circles, or, in other words, a combination of two sets. The result set is all the elements from both sets combined. This can be used to illustrate the concept of conjunctions in mathematics, set theory, or logical operations such as AND.

It is a useful tool for visually explaining complex concepts, especially if they need to be explained to a global audience.

Symmetric Difference or Disjunctive Union

The symmetric difference is the set of elements that are in either of the sets, but not in their intersection.

This element of the Venn diagram has practical applications in mathematics and computer science as an effective algorithm for solving optimization problems. For example, the symmetric difference is a useful tool for finding the maximum and minimum values in a given set of numbers.

Intersection

The intersection is the set containing all elements of the first circle that also belong to the second circle.

It is useful for a variety of applications including analyzing marketing data, research data, and financial data. It can also be used to identify trends in datasets.

With the intersection, users can quickly assess relationships between different sets of data and easily determine which elements are shared among them. This allows for better decision-making and informed decisions as it eliminates guesswork and provides a reliable source of insight.

Subtract

The element of the Venn diagram structure which is called Relative Complement is a mathematical or logical abstraction. It is used in practice to refer to a set that is part of the first set but not necessarily part of the second.

This is useful, for example, when comparing two sets of data where the second set is a subset of the first.

Unfortunately, the set of standard Google Slides tools does not contain tools for displaying individual elements of Venn diagrams. To overcome this inconvenience, the slide designer has several alternatives:

• draw individual elements yourself;
• use third-party Google Slides add-ons;
• create the necessary elements using the Powerpoint software (тут будет линк на Fragment Tool в статье про Powerpoint) and then place them in your Google Slides design.

Place the Venn Diagram Slide into your Google Slides Presentation

Of course, in this form, your slide needs to be improved. It would be nice to add a title, explanatory captions, and other visuals that give your work a finished, logical look. As a result, you should get something like this:

Now that the slide is finalized place it into your presentation. To do this, right-click on the slide thumbnail on the left and copy/paste it into the place of the presentation you want.

In the same way, you can insert a pre-made slide into your presentation, which you can find on poweredtemplate.com. The image above is one such pre-made slide.
