How to create drops or waves effects in PowerPoint

   1.2.   In the Shapes list, from the Basic Shapes group, select and add to the slide the Oval shape:

And even more:

   4.   Select the shape and the letter and on the Shape Format tab, in the Insert Shapes group, choose the Merge Shapes dropdown list and then select Union:

   5.   Group these shapes, format them and add pictures (see How to make modern picture design in PowerPoint slide for more details).

Add any other adjustments you like.
