Prezi is the ‘new kid on the block’ where presentation software is concerned. It’s been around for about 4 years and is still the favourite toy of the early adopters, geeks, and creative types, rather than a mainstream method of telling your story. You’ve probably heard of it by now, you might have seen it…

Understand and use the brilliant slide master and layout tool for all formatting, layout and animation effects for your type of presentations – then create the content of your presentation inside these formatting elements. That will mean that you can use the…
