The way we consume information has changed dramatically: it is now essential to design visuals that reinforce your presentation message to engage your audience in a clear, appealing and memorable way. This presentation skills training will help you to do so, while also accelerating your design process.

Design for Impact contains five modules, covering the importance of visuals, the elements and principles of design, the overall visual structure of a presentation, and how to ensure a great structure.

Course components

To fit conveniently into your busy working life, the course is compact: there are 2-3 hours of self-study material, followed by an assignment that you submit to receive a detailed review.
