Overview

Design amazing slides. Your audience will remember.

Once your content is in place, a great presentation is all about amazing slide design. In this 50-minute class, presentation expert Scott Schwertly provides empowering design advice for non-designers, encouraging us to go beyond the built-in templates to create truly powerful visuals. Covering 4 major styles, basic principles of color and type, advice for tricky charts, and more, it's the class you have to take before your next presentation. Make your next slide deck amazing.

Learn by doing.

You can choose to re-design slides from a previous presentation, start brand new, or design slides on a subject that's important to your work, interests, or creative pursuits. After this class, you'll have a presentation you can present in any situation.
