More information about this course
This course is offered exclusively online and facilitated using group video calls, so your team can participate safely without the need for physical meetings.
Not only is this course a safe way to up-skill your team during Covid-19, we have created an engaging and instructive online course that leverages technology to offer an engaging and comprehensive learning experience.
The minimum group size consists of five participants and we recommend to split groups larger than twelve to keep class sizes small and ensure ample opportunity for individual attention.
This course is primarily made for teams, meaning groups of people with similar goals and design constraints. We tailor each class to the group at hand, for example by selecting more relevant industry examples and use cases.
Before the course, we send the intake form to each course participant to understand more about their individual role, design experience and individual pain points. We then tweak the course in response to the participants' answers and questions from the intake form.
Yes, we can create custom workshop content tailor-made for your group. Please get in touch using the contact form to discuss your requirements and we will respond with a quotation to customise your workshop.
Although this course focuses primarily on presentation design, the majority of visual design principles can be applied to other types of communication forms. Presentation design, by nature, draws on other disciplines such as multimedia design, infographics, data visualisation and motion design.
Hence, the lessons we cover in this course will not only advance your team's presentation design skills, but can also be used to further your team's overall ability to leverage visual communication.
The course can be facilitated in English, German and Dutch.
Although most of our clients use MS PowerPoint, the design principles, workflows and examples covered in the course do not pertain to a specific software product and we can also use Google Slides or Apple Keynote. If you need us to work in another software, please contact us to discuss the specifics.
Yes, we also design individual presentations as well as presentation templates and design systems that improve the quality, ease and speed at which teams are able to present their ideas visually to different stakeholders. You can find out more about our work and reach out to us for more information.
