Course Overview
Microsoft PowerPoint: Illustrate children's picture books: Illustrating children's picture books with Powerpoint
Hello,
Welcome to my course, Microsoft PowerPoint: Illustrate Children's Picture Books.
In this course, I explain how to use Microsoft PowerPoint to illustrate a children's picture book. The first third of the course demonstrates the entire process using illustrations found on the Internet. The second half explains how to use PowerPoint to draw any shape. The third part, the original beginning of the course, explains how to create a simple children's book.
Learn to illustrate children's picture books even if you can't draw.
My name is Brian Jackson. I'm the instructor of the course. I'm also the writer of over one dozen books, publisher of well over 100 Amazon Kindle e-books and instructor with almost 40 Udemy courses to my name.
In this course, I demonstrate using Microsoft PowerPoint to create a children's picture book. More specifically, I address the following topics in detail:
How to configure Microsoft PowerPoint to output images in 300 DPI resolution.
How to use free images from the Internet to illustrate your story.
How to use free images from the Microsoft Office 365 resource library to illustrate your story.
How to use Microsoft PowerPoint to draw any free form image.
Learn to create professional quality children's picture books the easy way.
I am directing this course to writers new to Amazon illustrating children's picture books and those old timers wanting to brush up their illustration and PowerPoint skills.
Whichever is the case, I look forward to joining you on a journey through the lectures ahead.
I'll see you in the classroom,
---Brian
