Many of you readers are independent presentation designers. Having done a large number of online courses now, I think these udemy, coursera, etc. instructors could be great potential clients for you. Most of them talk through a set of poorly designed bullet point slides with a picture in picture video super imposed on them.
- These slides can obviously be improved, by a lot
- The narration and creative brief is there for you: the instructor gives verbal instructions as audio and often in a transcript
- These presentations can have a huge audience, and the overall visual quality can make a big difference in their marketing strategy: if the free sample lessons look really good, students will convert and buy the course
- As a presentation designer, you can specialize in a certain field: you start a self reinforcing loop: you understand the subject area better, you do better work, you can attract more work in that same speciality area as a result.
I myself don’t have the time to all this design work, therefore I leave it up to you :-)
A smart online instructor can do 2 things:
- Outsource design work to a great freelance presentation designer
- Do the slides herself, but in SlideMagic
