PowerPoint...Pronto!

Instructor: Melodi Pentico (Haynes & Boone, LLP)

In PowerPoint…Pronto we will discuss effective ways to create presentations fast. We will begin with fundamental concepts of design and continue into a demonstration of powerful PowerPoint tools; such as slide designs, color schemes, slide masters, and custom templates. I’ll even share with you some of my favorite resources when you are just flat out of creative ideas.
