Creating excellent slides is essential to any good presentation. This workshop focuses on techniques to prepare memorable, understandable and attractive slides that add depth to the message of your presentation.
You will use the workshop concepts to progressively create a set of your own slides. At the end of the workshop you will present your slides to the workshop group.
The workshop focuses on the design of slides, not the technicalities of using presentation software. Your workbook will however, show you ‘how to guides’ which demonstrate various PowerPoint software tools.
