Freebie Stopwatch Graphic
Aug 06, 2015
I'm currently working on a set of courses that include several video clips and wanted a quick visual for the learner to see how long each video clip is going to be. So I created a simple stopwatch graphic using shapes in PowerPoint. You just type the time in the center of the graphic, right click copy, paste on the slide as a picture, then re-size, and right click save as picture. I placed the individual stopwatch pics in the hover state for each section/menu button. This graphic works great with flat design elements. Enjoy!
It is super simple, but sometimes the best solution is the simplest!

Sweet little graphic and a great idea, Melanie! Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Loved it Melanie...Thanks for sharing, couldn't stop myself from playing with it a bit :D
Ashi - glad you had fun with it! Liked your Boom! :)
Nice one!
Hi, not sure if this is of interest to anyone, but based on Melanie's great stopwatch, I thought it would be great if it could have a working clock.
You can stop/start the clock using the buttons on the side of the stopwatch.
I'd love to know what you all think.

Nice work Michael! I can see this being useful for a variety of different interactions.
However, when I pushed the stop button, the number display on the stopwatch went blank. Perhaps my internet explorer browser is too old to display properly?
That is how it was built. The numbers are random. So stopping the clock at a specific point seemed pointless.
I just thought having some kind of display running looked neat.
I suppose It should read, "reset" rather than "stop"
