Keynote Helper

If you’re a regular presenter and you’ve just discovered Keynote, or you have been using it for years, this guide will help you get even more out of this wonderful piece of Apple software. In these pages you’ll find tips and tricks you have not encountered before, best practice approaches to building effective presentations, special effects and fun ideas to help you maximise the impact of what you present, and some unusual things to do that extend Keynote’s usefulness.

***The book comes with an extensive range of downloadable, editable - and borrowable - examples that demonstrate some of the features described in the book.***

Topics covered include Using iOS devices with Keynote; Collaborating; Using Video; Creating Graphics and Text Effects; a whole range of Special Effects that you can create yourself; Making Animations; Using Action Buttons to create Interactive Business Proposals - exportable as PDF; Countdown Timers; and then a whole raft of Unusual Things for which Keynote can be used, including Business Planning; Gantt Charting; Organisational Charts; Room Layouts; Website Banners with and without Animation; and Scrolling Text Credits.


You'll learn how to make Infographics with Keynote and then how to use them as a single slide around which your viewpoint can move. You'll see how Keynote is actually a really good Image Editor, covering a wide range of commonly needed facilities. You'll also explore how Gravity and Newtonian Motion can make your animations really pop!

There's so much here - and most of it is demonstrated in the accompanying download set.
