0:00:00,50 --> 0:00:02,70
- [Jess] Today's modern presentations are about

2
0:00:02,70 --> 0:00:05,70
conveying a message using as few words as possible,

3
0:00:05,70 --> 0:00:08,10
and using shapes, images, and impact

4
0:00:08,10 --> 0:00:10,40
to convey that message effectively.

5
0:00:10,40 --> 0:00:12,60
PowerPoint gives you all the tools you need

6
0:00:12,60 --> 0:00:14,00
to convey that message,

7
0:00:14,00 --> 0:00:16,10
without having to be a master of design

8
0:00:16,10 --> 0:00:18,20
or a graphic designer.

9
0:00:18,20 --> 0:00:19,40
In my LinkedIn Learning course,

10
0:00:19,40 --> 0:00:23,00
I'll show you how to use those PowerPoint tools in detail,

11
0:00:23,00 --> 0:00:26,00
and also give you a lesson in modern design,

12
0:00:26,00 --> 0:00:27,80
and how to call attention to the one

13
0:00:27,80 --> 0:00:31,00
focal point of a single slide, the message.

14
0:00:31,00 --> 0:00:33,30
We'll even be using old tools, like shapes,

15
0:00:33,30 --> 0:00:35,20
in brand-new, fun ways.

16
0:00:35,20 --> 0:00:38,50
My name is Jess Stratton, and I love PowerPoint.

17
0:00:38,50 --> 0:00:43,50
Let's get started.
