Visualisation

Death by PowerPoint. Bullet points don’t work. You’ve probably heard these sayings by now. You have probably sat through 100s of awful presentations. But what do you do instead?

Visualisation is the art of showing information, visually. In this video presentation we explain why visualisation is important, how to get started, and then give examples.

Design

Slide design is something of an art. You need to think about colours, fonts, animations, transitions, photos and images, templates and masters – often without being certain about the conditions in which your work will appear.

This video lesson teaches you how to create, format, and arrange content within PowerPoint.

Animation

Animation allows us to pace the flow of information in a presentation, as well as communicate processes and change more easily.

This video presentation explains when and why to use animation. It then shows you how to use entrance effects, emphasis effects, motion paths, and exit effects.

It then teaches you how to create live and non-live graphs and charts in PowerPoint, that will help engage your audience and get your message across.

PowerPoint Templates & Masters

Starting your presentation design off on the right foot is essential. Having a consistent, branded PowerPoint template will ensure your presentation looks the part from the start. However, do you know the differences between the various masters? How do you set up your colour schemes and animations? Templates within PowerPoint can be an easy stumbling block for the uninitiated.
