Learn how to design beautiful and effective presentations from scratch
Remember the time you had to sit through an endless presentation full of charts and text and weird transition animations? Chances are you do. But do you remember anything about what was on it? Now that's a different story. The way we present information greatly influences how much of it we absorb, which is why presentation design is an art in and of itself.
Katya Kovalenko is a Barcelona-based data designer who helps businesses communicate visually, clearly, and more effectively. In this course, she'll share all the potential that she's found in presentation design, showing you the process that she uses with her clients, the methods of organizing information, as well as give you pro tips from a designer’s point of view.

A course by Katya Kovalenko
Katya Kovalenko worked in advertising for nearly a decade before she embarked on what she calls “a quiet revolution.” After reading “Quiet” by Susan Cain, her notion of communication completely shifted. It led her to create Quiet Studio, which focuses on communicating in a more subtle and personal way.
As presentation and data designer at Quiet Studio, she creates presentations, infographics, and brand identities for businesses. She has worked with numerous brands and organizations like Meom, Article Group, Interesting Development, and Chelsea & Co.

Un curso muy bien estructurado, Katya explica con una facilidad que entiendes muy rápido, sabe del tema y los recursos que utiliza son muy útiles, este curso refuerza conocimientos y esclarece otros que tal vez no se toman en cuenta al momento de diseñar presentaciones, todo es muy completo a la vez que básico para entender como desarrollar una buena presentación.

Very good class for a beginner like me. Great sections on influences, the free tools available around the web and good summary of design principles. I am using Powerpoint so it was a bit of a challenge to "translate" from Keynote, but it worked great in the end. Thank you!
