What's included in this course?
You will meet Carlos J. Roldán, his main influences, his passion for design and why his interest is born to teach effective presentations to clients.
You will start by knowing Keynote, its tools and basic concepts. Later, Carlos will explain the principles to achieve an effective communication when exposing your proposal, considering the basic visual resources and techniques of oral and corporal expression (because everything influences when communicating).
You will choose a personal project to create an effective presentation and you will identify how your proposal solves the client's problem.
Carlos will teach you how to plan your presentation. You will create a simple script where you will reflect the highlights of your project and the most interesting elements that came out of the creation process. With the defined script, you will carry out an inventory of additional resources that must be done to show the full potential of your proposal.
You will start making your presentation step by step. You will learn the concepts of sequence, rhythm and tone, and in addition, you will learn how to use some resources to facilitate an effective communication using text, image and animation
Then, you will take the script to a skeleton divided into sections or chapters, you will create all the additional inputs previously detailed and you will integrate everything in Keynote.
Finally, Carlos will give you some tips to take into account, before, during and after the presentation to your client, for example, the importance of the essay, how to break the ice to generate a good impression, what to deliver at the end technical information that can take you from one or another hurry.
