Martin:
Welcome to Presentation Skills Q and A. I am Martin Lindiscog.
Martin:
Hi karina.
Carina:
Hi Martin.
Carina:
How are you today this lovely morning?
Martin:
Yes, I'm up early rise and shot line.
Carina:
I have a beautiful sunrise here at the west coast of Sweden.
Carina:
It's fantastic.
Carina:
I must say.
Martin:
You have to take a picture without a flash.
Carina:
Yes, absolutely.
Carina:
We are going to talk about the whole picture
Carina:
today.
Martin:
Yes, this is my picture.
Carina:
How are yours?
Martin:
Yes, it's good.
Martin:
I like the word the whole picture as
Martin:
interested in philosophy and fundamental ideas and where it's good to get the whole picture.
Martin:
And that's what I'm into.
Martin:
podcasting 2.0 also to get the whole picture
Martin:
to develop a field and area to see it and that's a good thing to have it as a topic the
Martin:
whole picture.
Martin:
And we will talk about continue with how you
Martin:
could use different tools when you are creating content and especially podcasting.
Martin:
So we talked a little bit about Canva last time.
Carina:
We talked about canva.
Martin:
Yes, and we will talk about a new tool also and list of different tools.
Martin:
So kanwa, we could start with that again, I interested in how they developed with
Martin:
different templates.
Martin:
For example artwork of a podcast in the past
Martin:
it was like a few ones that you could pick or choose between and it was called like music
Martin:
album, like a square.
Martin:
Like you have the vinyl album, you could look
Martin:
at it like that and then you get this perfect size for the artwork.
Martin:
It's like maximum I think it is like 4000 pixels times 4000 pixels.
Martin:
And then it has to be in taking a small space like is it 500k or something like that.
Martin:
So it doesn't take too much space on your phone when you look at podcast artwork and
Martin:
click on it.
Carina:
I think in this way Martin, the whole picture, it also depends on what you have,
Carina:
what you got, what you want to illustrate, should I say?
Carina:
If you want to illustrate the landscape of flowers, bakery people or a logo type for
Carina:
example, then the picture you can use it in many ways to get the whole picture.
Carina:
And I think the best things to use is the square because then you can use the picture
Carina:
for different platforms.
Martin:
And for different things that's good in this area in a podcast.
Martin:
So today we'll use here if everything goes according to plan tool called visi FM then you
Martin:
could have like this is a short podcast and episodes.
Martin:
So maybe we don't have so many segments, introduction, call to action, something
Martin:
content in between.
Martin:
But you are creating nice artwork you could
Martin:
say and squares and images for posting on Facebook and Instagram using Canva I think.
Martin:
So that we will include in these show notes and in the artwork.
Martin:
And you could say then in the chapters like different segments.
Martin:
So when you use a new podcast app, you could then see the image that karina has created and
Martin:
you could, for example, have an image of a book cover, like your books for example, or
Martin:
some other things.
Martin:
And when you watch the screen at the same time
Martin:
as you're listening so that we will test and doing this time around.
Carina:
Yes, but we work different.
Carina:
I am a person who prefer canva and I do a lot
Carina:
of things on that platform but I also know people that doesn't use it at all and create
Carina:
it for example in their PowerPoint and used the computer's tools to work with their
Carina:
picture.
Carina:
And you have also a lot of other platforms you
Carina:
can use for this I found.
Carina:
And I hopefully we can get it in English as
Carina:
well.
Carina:
But we had a top ten of all these programs for
Carina:
picturing, for using different tools for your pictures and we can take and put that link in
Carina:
our Show Notes.
Martin:
Yeah, there on the top of the list it was gimp for example.
Martin:
So that's an easy tool to use and I will come up with another one that I have used, I think
Martin:
it's a pixelr or something like that when I then created or adjusted or podcast artwork in
Martin:
order to get it according to the specification of Apple podcast and that was easy to use.
Martin:
And also you had a link there.
Martin:
That interesting how in the early days if you
Martin:
created websites and programming you could get an interest of investors and others.
Martin:
A guy who had something called Video Plus, I think, and then he sold this company and now
Martin:
he's into the food business or something like that.
Carina:
A very interesting program on Swedish television and we also put a link to that
Carina:
program in our Show notes and that's there you can see how important a picture really are to
Carina:
get people interested in what you are doing.
Carina:
So the picture it says thousands words.
Martin:
Use to say so the call to action to download a new podcast app and you could look
Martin:
into the show notes for that different ones like fountain and podverse and others and then
Martin:
you could look on it and see the chapters and the images that we have included in this
Martin:
episode and see what you think about that.
Carina:
Sounds nice.
Carina:
Really nice.
Carina:
Now Martin, I have a beautiful sun here, so I'm going to for a walk, I think a morning
