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.

Working with Adobe Illustrator

To make this discussion more concrete, let's look at an example of saving a file created in Adobe Illustrator so that it can be easily edited and uploaded to Prezi as a vector graphic, maintaining its dynamic pixels. The steps are as follows:
