Overview of this book

If you want to learn Prezi, and specifically design within Prezi, this is the book for you. Perhaps you already know a bit about Prezi but have never used it, or perhaps you have used Prezi before but want to learn how to incorporate your own custom design elements. In either case, this book will get you up and running quickly. It would be helpful to have a bit of familiarity with basic design concepts and the use of Prezi, but prior experience is not essential.

If you hover your mouse over any of the content, it should get selected with a blue box, and you can then click on Zoom to Frame to zoom into it. This is particularly useful when entering text into some of the smaller frames. Now, let's put these tips into practice with the help of the following steps:
