Who This Book Is For

If you want to learn Prezi, and specifically design within Prezi, this is the book for you. Perhaps you already know a bit about Prezi but have never used it, or perhaps you have used Prezi before but want to learn how to incorporate your own custom design elements. In either case, this book will get you up and running quickly. It would be helpful to have a bit of familiarity with basic design concepts and the use of Prezi, but prior experience is not essential.

What You Will Learn

• Transform your PowerPoint slides into a Prezi presentation
• Create and customize presentations using the Prezi templates
• Edit themes and add 3D backgrounds using the in-built wizard or CSS code
• Embed custom graphics and multimedia content into your presentation
• Work with external tools such as Adobe Illustrator to import your own content
• Make your content work together by adding timings, animations, and paths
• Collaborate with colleagues and clients across traditional space and time constraints
• Share your presentation with desired audiences and get feedback on your work

In Detail

Do you dread sitting through a presentation while someone clicks through endless dull slides? If so, then you will love the presentation tool Prezi. Unlike traditional presentation software, Prezi allows you to create non-linear presentations that easily embed your own content or content from the web and can be easily shared via a link.

This book will be your indispensable companion through the exciting journey of learning Prezi. It will guide you through everything you need to know to get started using the existing content and by bringing in new custom materials you've created. This guide contains helpful advice on practical considerations when designing presentations in Prezi. From considering the color scheme to designing the layout, this book will give you useful hints and tips.

About the Author

Domi Sinclair

Domi Sinclair is a Learning Technologist at University College, London. This role requires her to advise educators on the use of a range of technology-enhanced learning solutions including social media and collaboration platforms such as Prezi. She has an undergraduate degree in Journalism and a Master's degree in Media, both of which required her to use innovative platforms and hone her presentation skills. It was through this desire to stand out during presentations that she first discovered the Prezi platform, and she has been utilizing it ever since. She has presented at a number of national and international conferences on both sides of the Atlantic. She always favors using the Prezi platform to compliment face-to-face presentations and has converted a number of her team's shared presentations from PowerPoint to Prezi. Domi has authored the book, Instant Prezi for Education How-to, Packt Publishing, which was released last year.
