- As a business person myself, I understand that you don't have time to watch a course from beginning to end. If you have a question or something specific in mind that you need to know, you require a direct answer without extra fluff..

- • Lesson titles are keyword-based and easy to navigate.
- • Each lesson starts with a clearly defined learning objective that's 1-3 sentences long, written out for you to see, and shown in the first 6 seconds of every video. (This allows you to quickly determine if the lesson is what you need or not — without having to watch the whole video to find out).
- • At the end of each lesson I include a slide that summarizes the main points and takeaways.

- About the Instructor .
- My name is Aisha (EYE-sha) Borel. I have a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. I majored in Graphic Design in college and have been working as a professional graphic designer for 22 years. In that span of time, I have worked with a vast range of companies. From large Fortune 500 corporations to small "Mom 'n Pop" grass-root businesses, I've designed logos, t-shirts, brochures, infographics, and other "you name it" marketing materials..
- In the last 5 years, my job as a graphic designer has evolved — over 65% of my billable time centers around designing and tweaking various types of PowerPoint presentations. .
- More specifically, these last 2 years as an Instructional Designer (on top of being a graphic designer as well) have widened my perspective by allowing me to take a "learner-based approach" to everything I create..
- I hope that you find this course incredibly useful. If you have questions, please reach out by posting your inquiry in the "Discussions" area of this course..
- Thank you,.
- :D Aisha.
