Callout With Words: How to Use Microsoft PowerPoint for Drawing Speech Bubbles On Any Photo

Remember the comics of our childhood? What would they be without speech bubbles? In comics, words were calls to action and speech bubbles framed them so well. You never thought they obstructed the illustrations in any way. Speech bubbles turned into callouts when it came to business presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint. They give context to what’s on the slide or a screenshot and help to turn a mundane graphic into something more interesting.

Remember the comics of our childhood? What would they be without speech bubbles? In comics, words were calls to action and speech bubbles (or speech balloons)  put them so well. You never thought they obstructed the illustrations in any way. Speech bubbles turned into callouts when it came to business presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint. They give context to what’s on the slide or a screenshot and help to turn a mundane graphic into something more interesting.

Speech bubbles and callouts have other uses too. Using them on memes is commonplace. It finds some interesting uses in classrooms too as I found on this webpage . And then, as my friend Yaara showed us – it can turn over a bad day too ! Through all this, I was surprised to know was the fact that speech bubbles are also available for sale. Now, why would you do that when there’s a perfectly viable solution lying in your computer that can do just that, and for free.

That is, provided you have Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Word installed. The programs are themselves not usually free, but they are so commonly installed, that anything that comes out of there can be called as “free”.

Is Microsoft PowerPoint The Easiest Program To Create Speech Bubbles With?

There are many options open to an artist or the average Joe for creating speech bubbles. From Photoshop Custom Shapes to the free GIMP …from the simple Speechable and Superlame, to more advanced comic book creators , choices are plenty. Did you know that you can even put speech bubbles on videos?

But to answer the question in the headline above, I would go with a ‘yes’. We normally would turn to a photo editor or a third-party tool to do our speech bubbles, ignoring the power of Microsoft PowerPoint that’s just sitting there. PowerPoint gives us Shapes and a more creative ways to enhance those shapes into interesting callouts and speech bubbles than we can think up.

Start With a Clean Slate (Or a Blank Slide)

1. Use a blank PowerPoint slide as a canvas to insert your photo. Go to the Insert tab on the Ribbon and click on Picture .

2. From the same Insert tab, select the Shapes command. A drop-down menu will appear that gives you a variety of callout shapes. Select the one which you want to use.

3. Click, drag, and position the callout shape so that it is placed at the appropriate part of the image…and in the appropriate size you want it to be. Use the Text Box to insert your dialog or call to action.

4. You can also use Drawing Tools – Edit Shape feature to manipulate the basic shape into a wildly creative one by manipulating the wrap points around the speech bubble.

5. You can use the Drawing Tools to control the creation of your callout and speech bubbles. Alternatively, right-click on the callout shape and click on Format Shape . This is where you can apply your creativity to render the speech bubble with customized fills, transparency, line color, shadows, and even 3-D effects. The callouts should appear in front of the image. If they appear behind it, you can use the Bring to Front command from the right-click context menu to adjust the ordering.

6. Here is the final image of a callout created within the creative limits I possess. I like to set it to a transparency level sometimes to show some of the image beneath it (but not here in this image). But you can go with solid fills. Usually, the good old combo of black and white works best.

7. Select the textbox, the callout graphic and the photo (use CTRL+A). Right-click and use the context menu to use the Group command and thus group them together.

8. All that remains for you to do is right-click on the slide and save the entire image with the callout as an image file in one of the standard file-formats on view. JPEG is preferable if it’s a photo.

Putting Them to Use...

The PNG and GIF file formats allow you to create transparent and blank speech bubbles and then re-use them over any other image. For instance…you can create blank speech bubbles and keep them organized for future use in the Microsoft Clip Organizer and then insert them from Clip Art. Microsoft Clip Organizer can be found under Microsoft Office – Microsoft Office 2010 Tools .

You can take printouts and use them offline in interesting ways as illustrated through the first link in this article.

Multiple shapes can be combined in interesting ways in PowerPoint. You can use the Clip Organizer to keep and re-use them. Though you may not need it for creating basic speech bubbles, you can keep that in mind if the design needs call for it. Two shapes can be combined using the powerful Combine Shapes tool in one of four ways: Union, Combine, Subtract, or Intersect. Here’s the Microsoft How-to page for PowerPoint 2010 and 2013 . (Also, check out what's new in Microsoft Office 2013 )

Speech bubbles and callouts may seem very trivial in the grand scheme of things. But they have a surprising number of uses, especially in today’s engaged learning systems, and even for the fun of it, in quick internet memes. What do you think? Do you use speech bubbles anywhere? Which is your favored tool?

You can resize the Toolbar and easily toggle to show or hide features or feature groups.

PPT Productivity's features let you spend less time formatting so you can focus on the story.

Add frequently used PowerPoint shapes to your presentation in a single click using PPT Productivity's Format Toolbar.

If you have other custom shapes or frameworks you frequently reuse, PPT Productivity's Slide Library feature lets you save and name shapes or entire slides and quickly find them for easy reuse.

Looking for more shapes, like curved arrows in PowerPoint? PPT Productivity's Slide Library includes 200+ shapes and slides in the Downloadable Libraries .

Easily add callout and speech bubble shapes to PowerPoint slides in a single click, with PPT Productivity add-in for PowerPoint.

PPT Productivity PowerPoint addin's Format Toolbar includes commonly used callouts. Add callout shapes to PowerPoint slides in a single click. Why are callouts added to a presentation? Call out boxes or speech bubbles are typically used to highlight a point on a slide or make an annotation. Callout boxes are used typically to highlight information.

Speech bubbles can be used to suggest speech or conversation, but can also be used in the same way as callouts. The rounded rectangular and rectangular speech bubble PowerPoint shapes are often used like callouts. There are seven different callout/ speech bubble shapes to choose from:

• Rounded Rectangular Speech Bubble
• Rectangular Speech Bubble
• Oval Speech Bubble
• Cloud Speech Bubble
• Straight line Callout
• Bent line Call out
• Double Bent line Callout

PPT Productivity's PowerPoint callout feature button will default to show the last callout shape inserted, but the seven different shapes are accessible from the drop down arrow on the button.

If you're adding a note intended for internal team review, PPT Productivity's Sticky Notes feature might be a better option. Sticky notes are perfect for managing review feedback and status annotations for slides.

Add Chevrons or Block Arrows to PowerPoint slides. If you resize or recolor the first inserted block arrow or chevron, subsequent chevrons inserted into your presentation will match your updated shape and color.

PPT Productivity makes it easy to insert chevrons to PowerPoint slides, including the option of a block arrow (pentagon) for the first chevron.

Click the add chevrons feature multiple times to add the required number of chevrons. Resize and recolor the first chevron and subsequent chevrons added to the slide will insert in matching size and color. Or update the formatting once all chevrons are inserted - chevrons are grouped as you add them, to make formatting easy.

Chevrons in standard PowerPoint are tricky to space (because the standard PowerPoint chevron is a reshaped rectangle). For a precise layout, PPT Productivity chevrons can be evenly spaced at specified distances using the PPT Productivity Set Horizontal Gaps feature.

If you would prefer pre-formatted chevron slide layouts, or looking for circular arrows in PowerPoint or arrow slide templates, you can download the PowerPoint Arrows and Flows library via the Slide Library. Looking for PowerPoint Process flow templates? There is also a Value Chains and Processes library.

All downloadable libraries are included in PPT Productivity's Power Tools license (including free trials). Read more about the Downloadable Slides and Shapes for PowerPoint.

Easily add Hand Drawn Circle shapes to your PowerPoint slide. PPT Productivity's circle shape mimics a hand drawn annotation on a slide e.g. to add focus or circle text to suggest a concern or necessary correction. The circle can be added in red, orange, yellow, or green or update to custom colors.

This feature makes it easy to add a hand drawn circle shape to your slide. The shape is an open circle or oval - appearance is a freehand loop so that it looks like you have circled text in PowerPoint (or an image or shape - the hand drawn circle shape can be used on anything!).

The Hand Drawn Circle feature button by default shows the last color circle used, but on click you will see a drop down option with all colors.

Once added to the slide it behaves like a normal shape - you can distend, recolor, enlarge or shrink the hand drawn circles. To recolor your Hand Drawn Circls, go to Settings > Colors on the PPT Productivity Ribbon. You can select your preferred colors for the hand drawn circle options.

If you're looking for more PowerPoint hand drawn shapes, also check out the Hand Drawn Graphics library which you can access via the Slide Library . All PPT Productivity Downloadable Libraries are available for download for any Power Tools users (including those on the free trial version).

How to create Harvey Balls in PowerPoint? Add standard size 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, empty or full Harvey Balls to PowerPoint presentations with PPT Productivity. Or choose a custom fill Harvey Ball and enter a % value (e.g. enter 33% for a 1/3 filled Harvey Ball). You can easily align, resize and recolor the Harvey Balls.

How to use Harvey Balls? Harvey Balls icons are typically used in PowerPoint presentations to denote status. Harvey balls (also known as pies, moons, moon balls or status balls) can be used for project tracking status, option assessment and more.

Standard Harvey Ball sizes include 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. PPT Productivity also has a Custom Harvey Ball feature which lets you add a Harvey ball of any size (simply specify a number between 0-100). Click the Harvey Ball feature on PPT Productivity's Format Toolbar and your selected Harvey Ball will be inserted onto your PowerPoint slides as shapes.

Unlike some other PowerPoint Harvey Ball solutions, PPT Productivity doesn't use a Harvey Ball font. If you insert Harvey Balls to your PowerPoint presentation using PPT Productivity the Harvey Balls will display correctly for any users viewing the presentation.

Harvey Ball Colors can be easily changed. By default the Harvey Balls will be added to your PowerPoint slide in your template default color, but you can customize to any color (and you can share your custom Harvey Ball color with colleagues using the Share Settings feature).

Once inserted into your presentation, Harvey Balls behave as shapes. Easily change the PowerPoint Harvey Balls color or enlarge the balls. Easily align the Harvey Balls on your PowerPoint slide using PPT Productivity's alignment shortcuts or standard PowerPoint alignment features.

Harvey Balls can be added to your slide using the Harvey Ball buttons on the PPT Productivity Ribbon or the Harvey Ball button on the Format Toolbar (or if you prefer, you can add the Harvey Ball feature to the PowerPoint QAT).

When you click to add a PPT Productivity Harvey Ball to a PowerPoint table, the Harvey Ball will embed in the table and can be aligned and resized along with the table contents. Read more about Harvey Balls for PowerPoint tables

Easily update Harvey Balls in PowerPoint. If you select one or more Balls on your slide prior to clicking the button, they selected Harvey Balls will be updated. Looking for a Harvey Ball Chart template? PPT Productivity's Downloadable Slides and Shapes includes PowerPoint Harvey Ball Chart templates, Harvey Ball table templates and more.

All PPT Productivity features can be used via the Customizable Shortcut Keys for PowerPoint feature. You can add shortcut keys for Harvey Balls (you can add separate shortcut keys to insert Harvey Balls with 1/4 fill, 1/2 fill, 3/4 fill, full and empty).

You can also set a Customizable Shortcut Key to cycle Harvey Ball fills. Click on any harvey ball you have already added to a slide then cycle through the standard Harvey ball fill options.

It's easy to insert slide miniatures in Powerpoint presentations as pictures with PPT Productivity.

Minislides are a great way to summarize work or to briefly refer back to related presentations, previous slides or future phases of work. Miniature PowerPoint Slides are images of other slides included on a slide in a presentation.

You don't need to snip slides to create an image of them. PPT Productivity's Create Mini Slides feature pastes your clipboard content as picture of miniature slide(s). Mini Slides are arranged in an auto-sized tile layout when inserted into your presentation (or Cascade layout if you CTRL-click).

The layout is determined by the number of slides on the clipboard. Note that when pasting multiple slides, the Mini Slides feature will auto-align and size within your slide design's text boundary.

To replace the current selected shape, CTRL-click to overwrite without prompting.

Quickly rearrange shapes in PowerPoint to separate onto multiple slides.

Do you have a slide with multiple icons or objects and you want to separate them across multiple slides? This feature separates out a slide with multiple objects, placing each one on a separate PowerPoint slide (adding slides to your presentation). Simply select the slide with the objects, then click the Move to Multiple slides button.

Each selected object will now rearrange to appear on separate slides in your PowerPoint presentation and the objects will be centered on each new slide. PPT Productivity's move to multiple slides feature is perfect for making photo presentations. Simply insert a large number of photos onto a single slide from the relevant folder, then use the move to multiple slides feature to seperate them out each to a single slide. Amazing time saver!

Easily add a large right facing triangle to the center of your Powerpoint slide. PPT Productivity's insert triangle feature pastes the triangle in your template's theme colors if you are using a template using PowerPoint's Theme Accent 1 color (the triangle will default to blue when inserted if your template theme's Accent 1 color is white or clear).

This feature makes it easy to add a large right facing triangle to the center of your slide. Right facing triangles in the center of slides are commonly used in management consulting presentations between two text boxes or charts, to present conclusions or inferences between the information on either side.

Looking for slide layout templates for highlighting conclusions or options? The PPT Productivity Downloadable Libraries include 2000+ shapes and slides you can download for easy reuse via the Slide Library .

Easily add status indicators to PowerPoint. You can add them anywhere on your slide, but when you add status indicators to a PowerPoint table, they embed into the table and move with the cell as table row or column sizes are adjusted.

Status indicators include:

• Directional arrows: up arrow, trend up arrow, down arrow, trend down arrow, trend unchanged arrow
• Plus and Minus signs
• Tick / Check mark and Cross
• Positive, Neutral and Negative status balls (e.g. great for PowerPoint traffic light status reports)

Working with a team? You can customize the setup of your status indicators and export this setting (along with a lot of other settings) to share with colleagues, so that your team have the same setup. Read more about sharing PPT Productivity settings across a team .

Have a different custom status indicator that you prefer to use? Remember that you can save custom shapes and slides to your Slide Library for PowerPoint ready for easy reuse.

Top 10 Thought Bubble Templates to Make Your Presentations Speak Out

Ashish Singla

Thought bubbles are a great way to show the emotional state of your character. They provide an additional layer for readers, giving them insight into what is happening in the current scenario.

Speech bubbles reveal the unspoken attitudes, assumptions, and beliefs that govern how we think, analyze, and act. They also come in handy for illustrating an information exchange, as they're perfect for showing how one idea leads into another and leaves listeners wanting more!

Custom speech/thought bubbles in PowerPoint

Create your own cool speech/thought bubbles in PowerPoint for your future e-learning course or presentation.

super easy - PowerPoint is really powerful tool

quick to design - creating basic custom speech bubble is less than 30 seconds work

time saving - you don’t have to browse stock sources for finding the right speech bubble

rewarding - it’s your OWN asset

just right - looks exactly how you wanted

money saving - no comments needed ;)

Most useful tools in PPT while creating this 32 speech/thought bubbles set (freebie 09) were: union shapes, subtract shapes (you may find intersect option helpful as well), curve and freeform line. Every bubble is unique and you have plenty of possibilities how the bubble can look like: not only the classic round/rectangle or cloud shaped bubble, but also joint, heart or a bitten speech bubble may look fantastic and fit in to your project.

The other way to jazz your bubbles up is to set a picture, gradient or texture as a fill, change the classic outline, add default or custom shadows.

Check out this short video tutorial on YouTube , where I show hot to design 7 unique and great looking speech bubbles within 5 minutes.

Text bubbles: a big guide

Although a text bubble seems to be a simple element, not everyone knows how to make it. Today we’ll cover what it is and how to do a text bubble from zero or using ready templates.

What a text bubble is and when you can use it

First, it is worth understanding what does it mean. A text bubble, also called a speech bubble, speech balloon, or dialogue balloon is a rounded or irregularly shaped outline filled with text and features a tail pointing toward the speaker.

The concept is well-known thanks to Superman, Batman, and Disney characters who spoke through speech bubbles. In comics, they express the words, thoughts, or emotions of a given character. However, text bubbles have gone far beyond the pages of comic books.

It is widely used in presentations. Want to make your report less boring? Add a text bubble as a design element to your slide, creatively illustrate your words, highlight the main idea, or frame an inspiring quote with it. You can also use them to create memes or cues in visual materials.

In formal documents, text bubbles are often called “callouts” as they are designed to attract the reader’s attention to a specific point or give instructions.

How to create text bubble using ready png

Creating text bubbles for any purpose is not very difficult today. The first and most obvious way is to find a ready speech bubble template in png format on the Internet. For example, download it from Google or find suitable ones on specialized stocks. Many stocks offer free templates for any purpose and to any taste. Then you can add a text bubble to a photo in any image editor.

If you want to use a ready-made speech bubble, make sure it does not violate copyright law.

How to create text bubble online

The easiest and fastest way to create a text bubble is an online service (for example, Phrase it or FlexClip ). It does not require any professional skills. All you need is to follow these steps:

• Choose a background picture (You can add a speech bubble to any stock picture or upload a photo from your device);
• Choose a bubble form;
• Place it on the picture;
• Add and edit the text;
• Download the picture on your devices or send it by email.

How to create speech bubble in Word , Excel, and PowerPoint files

The previous methods describe how to add a text bubble to a photo. However, you may need to add it to a text document, spreadsheet, or presentation to make a note, pay attention to a specific statement or give an example. Another reason you might want to know how to add a text bubble is when you already have an illustration inserted into your document, but you want to enhance it. In this case, creating a new image using online services will take more time than doing it directly in the editors.

Let’s see how to make a speech bubble in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint formats with ONLYOFFICE editors.

• Using ready png image . If you have a ready-made png image to add to your document, go to Insert —> Image  —>  Image from File and choose the picture from your device.

• Using shapes in editors. It is also possible to create a text bubble from scratch in document, spreadsheet, or presentation editors using shapes. The task is much easier than it may seem.

The shape feature has different shapes of text bubbles: rectangular selection can be used for quotes, oval callouts often serve as speech balloons, and cloud – for thoughts.

Go to Insert —> Shape —> Callouts and choose the necessary one.

Draw a speech bubble shape on the page. Then, modify its size, make a tail longer or shorter, or change its direction by moving the yellow point. Ideally, the tail should be pointed to the mouth or head of the speaker, if there is an illustration, or to the sentence or part of the text whose brief thought a text bubble expresses.

If you have already set the size and added text to a shape and then decided to choose another shape, there’s no need to delete the shape and start over. Use Change Autoshape option on the right-side toolbar to change the shape but keep the size and text.

How to add text and change font

To add text to a speech bubble, you just need to double-click it and enter the text. To change the font, you can use the usual fonts or apply text art on the right-side toolbar.

There’s a handy feature here. Instead of manually changing the size of the text bubble so that all the text is visible, you can set the automatic adjustment.

Click the shape, go to Advanced Settings , and choose to Resize shape to fit text . That way, after you enter the text, the bubble will automatically resize.

How to change background color or make it transparent

Speaking about text bubbles, we shouldn’t forget the background color, as it also matters. The bubble color helps to convey emotions or feelings. For example, red implies the speaker’s anger and rage.

You can easily change the default background of the shape. Click it and choose another color on the right-side toolbar. It is possible to choose a pattern for the background or make a text bubble transparent or gradient. Just select the desired option from the drop-down list under Fill on the right-side toolbar.

That is how to create a text bubble in different ways. As you noticed, it can be easily done even in document editors, using simple shapes and your imagination. Try it now in ONLYOFFICE Editors:

How to Use Microsoft PowerPoint for Drawing Speech Bubbles On Any Photo

Adding speech bubbles to photos can be a fun and creative way to make your images stand out. With PowerPoint, you can easily draw customized speech bubbles and add them to any photo.

Introduction

Speech bubbles, also known as speech balloons or text bubbles, are graphical elements commonly seen in comics, cartoons, and other visual media. They contain dialogue or thoughts attributed to characters.

Adding speech bubbles to your photos can give them a fun, whimsical feel. It allows you to showcase the imagined thoughts or words of people or objects in your images.

While specialized software like Photoshop offers more advanced speech bubble capabilities, you can still create great effects using PowerPoint. In this article, we’ll walk through the process step-by-step.

Step 1: Insert a Callout Shape

PowerPoint has several callout shape options you can use as speech bubbles. To insert one:

• Open your presentation and insert the photo you want to add a speech bubble to.
• Select the Insert tab.
• Click Shapes in the Illustrations group.
• Oval Callout
• Rounded Rectangular Callout
• Cloud Callout
• Draw the callout shape by clicking and dragging on the slide. Position it near the person or object speaking.

Step 2: Customize the Callout

You can customize the callout shape to create the perfect speech bubble:

• Resize – Click and drag the sizing handles to enlarge or shrink.
• Tail Length – Click and drag the bottom diamond handle to extend the pointer.
• Curve Tail – Adjust the yellow adjust points to create curves.
• Color – Open the Format tab and select a fill color.

Spend some time shaping your callout into the ideal speech bubble shape before adding text.

Step 3: Add Speech Bubble Text

• Double click inside the callout shape to add text.
• Type the dialogue or thoughts you want to convey. Use 25 words or less for optimal readability.
• Customize the font style, size, and color to match your photo.
• Click outside the shape when finished to deselect it.

Step 4: Position the Speech Bubble

Drag your speech bubble into the perfect position:

• Point the tail at the person or object speaking.
• Place higher on the photo for earlier dialogue.
• Try not to cover important elements.

Use alignment guides to evenly space multiple bubbles.

Step 5: Add Multiple Speech Bubbles

To convey a conversation:

• Insert additional callout shapes for each speaker.
• Customize shape, size and color for visual distinction.
• Add the dialogue and position appropriately.
• Group the bubbles (right click > Group) to keep organized.

Step 6: Save and Export

When your photo is complete:

• Save the PowerPoint file to retain all individual elements.
• Export an image file (JPEG, PNG) to share online or use elsewhere.

Now you can add your customized speech bubble photos to social media, websites, print materials and more!

Creative Speech Bubble Ideas

• Show a conversation between two people in a photo
• Visualize an object’s imagined thoughts
• Highlight or emphasize part of an image
• Add humor or whimsy to vacation photos
• Create illustrated stories using multiple photos

Get creative with speech bubbles in PowerPoint!

With just the built-in tools in PowerPoint, you can easily create fun, customized speech bubbles for your photos. Callout shapes serve perfectly as text bubbles with a little formatting.

Speech bubbles help images stand out and convey imaginative dialogue or thoughts. Add some to your photos and see what creative ideas you can come up with!

Now you know how to use Microsoft PowerPoint to draw speech bubbles on any image. Have fun applying this new skill to your photos!

Speech bubbles or balloons are sometimes referred to as text bubbles. They are labels that display words and emotions of a character in an illustration or depict a phrase about an illustration or text. In business, text bubbles are often referred to as “callouts” as they’re used to call attention to a specific point, word or sentence, or provide instructions in documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The method to create text bubbles is similar across Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It simply involves inserting a predefined bubble shape into your project and editing it as needed.

Select the “Insert” tab in your Microsoft Office application.

Click “Shapes” in the Illustrations section on the ribbon, and then locate the “Callouts” section near the end of the Shapes drop-down menu.

Select the type of text bubble you want to use, such as a “Rectangular Callout,” “Rounded Rectangular Callout,” “Oval Callout,” “Cloud Callout” or a “Line” callout option.

Position the crosshairs cursor, which appears when you select a callout, near the area where you want to create the text bubble shape.

Press the “Shift” key on your computer keyboard, and then click and drag the cursor to the right or left depending on the direction you want the bubble tail to point until the bubble is the size you want. Release the mouse key.

Roll your cursor over the bubble until it changes into the “Move” four arrows cursor, and then click and drag the text bubble to the position where you want it.

Align the tip of the tail to point at the text, illustration or section that you plan to talk about in the bubble.

Click inside the bubble and type your text. When you’re finished, reposition and edit the text the same way you would in a normal text box.

• If you position a text bubble to overlap with text already on a page, the bubble will block the text. To make the bubble transparent so that the text shows through it, select the bubble shape so that the “Format” tab appears above the ribbon. Click the tab, locate the Shape Styles section, click “Shape Fill” and then select “No Fill.”
• To change the outline of the bubble to a different color or to a dashed outline, click “Shape Outline” in the Shape Styles section and select a color option, or roll your cursor over “Dashes” and select a line option.
• To narrow, widen, shorten or lengthen the bubble's tail, select the shape and then click and drag the yellow handle at the end of the tail as desired.

Blow, Float and Pop Bubble Animation in PowerPoint

If you are looking for bubble animation in which you want to blow the bubble, float the bubble as if it is in air and pop the bubble after sometime, here is a quick trick.

Blow, float and pop effect can be achieved easily with available PowerPoint animations.

I assume you already have an image or a group to apply animation.

As you notice in the above image, I have used built-in animation to create this effect in the following order

• Blow Animation – I have used “Line” (in Motion Path) along with “Basic Zoom” (in Entrance) to create a blow effect. You may change the direction and speed as per your need.
• Float Animation – I have used single “S Curve 1” (in Motion Path) to have a float animation. The start point of this animation coincides with the end point of blow animation. You may use multiple animations to have complex float animation.
• Pop Animation – I have used “Dissolve Out” (in Exit) to create a pop effect.

You may tinker with various parameters to come up with your own customized bubble animation.
