Make your company or event stand out from the rest! Use your eye for design and promote what you're doing with flair on a sensible budget. Dig deeper into PowerPoint and go from producing simple slides with boring text and bullets to mastering multimedia presentations and art projects that are absolutely brilliant!

Using software you already have, you can create eye-catching designs that include images, movies, and sound. Whether it’s a personalized email campaign, Web banner, postcard, Twitter background, YouTube skin, or an eflyer like this one, you can do it all in PowerPoint.

You'll also receive a copy of Peggy's book, Just Show Me Which Button to Click! in PowerPoint 2007.

Class Outline

• Choose the right theme and create a template that builds your brand.
• Design and create templates for your master slide, title slide, and handouts.
• Use slide masters to create, update, or change design aspects before you can blink.
• Add a dynamic look and feel with color photographs, animated graphs, and charts that tell your story.
• Import charts that are linked back to Excel.
• Insert audio or add narration in your voice.
• Insert videos you've created or from YouTube.
• Set up self-running shows that tell the story for you.
• Go beyond slides and create art projects such as postcards, YouTube backgrounds, business cards, and more.

What You Will Need

• A laptop. You should also bring an external mouse and mouse pad, and don't forget your power cord. PowerPoint 2007 must be loaded on laptop.
• Ability to be away from your cell phone during class. You can only turn on phones during breaks and lunch. This is the only way you can respect your trainer, stay focused and not ask questions that have already been answered, and not distract your fellow students.
