The three Prezi design steps


The three-step approach explained over the next few pages is aimed at helping you get the most out of Prezi. By making sure you follow the three steps, you'll start to think in the right way, understand the key messages in your design, and also build the Prezi in a sensible and time-efficient way.

The three steps are:

  1. Plan your Prezi.

  2. Get the flavor right.

  3. Build in layers.

Failure to use this approach can mean you get frustrated in your design and lose track of everything on your canvas, waste valuable time, and/or you end up creating something that's sure to deliver motion sickness to your audience.

To master Prezi, you must master these steps.

Step 1 – Plan your Prezi

The first design step is without a doubt the most important of all. Taking the time to plan your Prezi will give you a clear vision of exactly what it is that you need to say or show to your audience in order to deliver your message.
