In this course, you will learn to create high quality game assets that can be used in any 2D game creator with PowerPoint . Yes, seriously, I said "PowerPoint"! When you think of PowerPoint you probably don't think of it for anything other than creating bullet point slides with some occasional transitions with graphics that don't go beyond a chart or two. Hidden in plain sight are some powerful drawing tools in Powerpoint that Game Developers, Artists, and Designers can use to create stunning graphics. These graphics tools in Powerpoint are building blocks that will let anyone build assets for 2D games created in Construct 2, Unity, GameMaker, or coding from scratch. I will show you how PowerPoint lets you create professional looking images that are even easier to create than expensive software packages. The great thing about learning how to create game assets with PowerPoint is that you probably already own it, so in addition to creating great game assets, you are saving money! I will walk you through creating several assets for a space game, including an opening cinematic. Along the way I'll teach you Powerpoint and design techniques that you can apply to your own game assets. I am excited about teaching you how to unleash Microsoft PowerPoint's graphics potential so you can create assets for your own game development or sell in game marketplaces. Who Should Take This Course? Game Developers that want to create their own assets Beginning digital artists that don’t have expensive software People who don’t believe you can create art in PowerPoint ;)

If you have to sell anything as part of your job -- a product, a project, an idea, a service, and we all do in some way-- you know how the right presentation can make a project or an idea go forward and the wrong one can kill it . These are crucial presentations. And despite what's at stake -a promotion, raising money, getting new business, peer recognition- most times we do it incredibly badly by crafting lengthy, boring PowerPoints. The success of presentations depends on the process you use to develop them , on figuring out how to keep your audience's attention and not on how hard you try. The better you are at engaging your audience the more successful you will be.

I can help you get better starting with your very next presentation . This course is organized in three main sections and you can jump to either of these depending on your needs: How to create a powerful, compelling story How to create engaging slides that support the story How to deliver your presentation with confidence You also get the following Bonuses : Video on How To Present to Executives : Covers five common challenges when presenting to executives such as having less time to present, how to deal with executives multi-tasking, what if the decision maker leaves the room, how to bring them back when they are having multiple conversations and how to react when they start solving a different topic. Tips and tricks of PowerPoint - 34 bonus videos I know you are probably thinking of this: 1) Isn't this stuff available for free on the internet? Answer: Actually... no.

So stop wasting time browsing the internet. Here you will find all the insider tips to successful presentations. 2) I already know PowerPoint so I don't need this Answer: This is not a basic PowerPoint training. In fact, I assume you know your way around it and instead my focus is on taking your skills to the next level by teaching you about design principles and how to apply them to your slides. 3) This is too risky of an investment. Not sure if this is right for me Answer: Crucial presentations need to be flawless and this course gives you specific tips to do that.

This course will teach you all the necessary basics and advanced tools, but it's not a PowerPoint 101 for beginners. I mention basic tools and techniques, but I assume that you are computer savvy and know how to find your way around PowerPoint already. I'm enrolled in your Master PowerPoint presentations course. Should I get this one or is the other one enough? Which one is better? Good Question! Both courses are top PowerPoint courses that teach you the knowledge and tools to create outstanding presentations, animations, and templates. They are just two different versions that use different slides and unique content respectively. The benefit of that is you can follow a different design path on each course. Students who finished the first master course were asking me for more, and I'm happy to provide more if there is demand for it. If you already feel super-comfortable with PowerPoint, one course is enough. But if you seek even more design ideas and slides, and if you like my content and the way I teach, you won't go wrong by taking both courses. With both courses, you can reach a similar level of PPT knowledge, but in different ways and different designs. Each of those two courses has several unique sections that allow them to expand your knowledge on their own way. I've been using PowerPoint for 15+ years and think I know the most already, will I learn anything? I'm an experienced PowerPoint instructor with over 250 YouTube tutorials and more than 10 published PowerPoint courses and series. Over the past few years, I have learned from both beginner and advanced students which areas to address to best influence your workflow in a positive and impactful way. My courses help you to boost your efficiency, using shortcuts and on-trend designs to help you to reach a modern, top-level standard of quality. If you need something that is not already in the course, you can always ask me about topics to add to courses that interest you. I'm still not sure if I want to invest into this course. I don't know if I want to focus on design or on animation? Is there any fall-back plan? Of course! First, you should watch the promo videos and watch the free preview lessons. They will give you a good understanding of the course content, pace, and what to expect from taking the course. Apart from that, you have Udemy’s 30-day Money Back Guarantee with no questions asked!
