-: Wow, you are here.
I'm terribly excited to record this lecture
because this means that in a few minutes
we will start the work.
Now, why this course?
I prepared hundreds of slides and materials for myself,
to really condense and quantify
the best possible learning experience for you.
What you'll receive is a detailed, curated,
and tailored experience to enable you,
as a PowerPoint designer, as a presentation designer,
and in general, if you're interested
in business-type of presentations.
Number 2, Organization.
In order to achieve that,
In the next few sections,
we will barely open PowerPoint
because we need to learn important principles.
Some of them will be like how to tell a story?
Or how to write action titles for your presentations?
After that, we'll dive into data visualization,
where we will go over several charts together
how to prepare them?
What type of chart to use,
depending on the dataset that you have available?
Later on, we will apply all the knowledge we've gathered
into a real business presentation.
Number 3, Resources.
If you wanna work along with me,
you can download a Resources Package for this course.
It'll be a zip package available In the next lecture,
just go to the download resources lecture,
everything is neatly organized,
if you need any help,
just let me know in the Q&A section.
I need to stress this again,
for people who cannot wait
to open PowerPoint, I understand
but we start
the PowerPoint work a little later,
in those sections.
At first, we have to go through
a couple of business principles
important and essential ones
to give you the whole picture
about it.
Okay, that's it, let's start. In the next lecture
we will have a tiny warmup practice in PowerPoint
just so we can get our feet wet,
and start to dive into the course right away.
You can download the resources if you want to participate,
and we will see each other in that lecture.
