GRAPHICS CLASSES

Personalized software training tailored to your needs!

PowerPoint

PowerPoint is a popular program used to create slide show presentations. In this class you will learn to create a basic presentation; vary the background to suit your audience; change and format your text; and add, remove or rearrange slides. You will then learn how to supplement the basic show with animation, pictures, sounds and movie clips. Preparation of speaker notes and audience handouts is also covered. The only thing you won’t have to do is stand up and present your show!

We can’t guarantee that your audience still won’t fall asleep during your talk. But at least you’ll have a fighting chance of keeping them awake after this class!

Length of class: 3 hours

Prerequisite: Basic Windows.

Time - 3 hours   Cost - $200.00

Desktop publishing has never been easier! This class walks you through the steps of creating any type of publication. You will learn about the Catalog, how to change paper size, add graphics and text boxes, and control the flow of words around your pictures. You will layer objects, create columns and dump text from one page onto another page without losing a syllable.

After this class you will be very comfortable with the different visual techniques and tools used in this program. You will also be able to edit your text in Word in order to take advantage of Word’s grammar and language modules.

It is not well known that you can create graphic images in most Microsoft products. In this class we use Word to learn about the features of Microsoft’s Drawing Toolbar. (But the same toolbar is available in Excel and PowerPoint.)

We start out with ClipArt – finding the Perfect Image (using the Web) and then manipulating it (changing brightness, contrast, colors and cropping.) You will learn to control the flow of text around any image (ClipArt, or a scanned photo or…) You will also learn about objects in general with an emphasis on WordArt and Text Boxes.

The talented among you will also be able to create incredible drawings using lines, ovals, rectangles and other basic shapes. Everyone else will be utterly thrilled and amazed by Diana’s example of her Famous Martini Glass.

Length of class: 2 hours

Prerequisite: A thorough understanding of Character, Paragraph, and Page Layout formatting plus a sense of the absurd.

Time - 3 hours   Cost - $200.00
