The Whole Picture

Martin: 00:00:10

Welcome to Presentation Skills Q and A. I am Martin Lindiscog.

Martin: 00:00:14

Hi karina.

Carina: 00:00:16

Hi Martin.

Carina: 00:00:18

How are you today this lovely morning?

Martin: 00:00:21

Yes, I'm up early rise and shot line.

Carina: 00:00:27

I have a beautiful sunrise here at the west coast of Sweden.

Carina: 00:00:32

It's fantastic.

Carina: 00:00:34

I must say.

Martin: 00:00:36

You have to take a picture without a flash.

Carina: 00:00:40

Yes, absolutely.

Carina: 00:00:45

We are going to talk about the whole picture

Carina: 00:00:47

today.

Martin: 00:00:48

Yes, this is my picture.

Carina: 00:00:50

How are yours?

Martin: 00:00:52

Yes, it's good.

Martin: 00:00:53

I like the word the whole picture as

Martin: 00:00:56

interested in philosophy and fundamental ideas and where it's good to get the whole picture.

Martin: 00:01:02

And that's what I'm into.

Martin: 00:01:04

podcasting 2.0 also to get the whole picture

Martin: 00:01:07

to develop a field and area to see it and that's a good thing to have it as a topic the

Martin: 00:01:15

whole picture.

Martin: 00:01:16

And we will talk about continue with how you

Martin: 00:01:19

could use different tools when you are creating content and especially podcasting.

Martin: 00:01:25

So we talked a little bit about Canva last time.

Carina: 00:01:30

We talked about canva.

Martin: 00:01:31

Yes, and we will talk about a new tool also and list of different tools.

Martin: 00:01:38

So kanwa, we could start with that again, I interested in how they developed with

Martin: 00:01:46

different templates.

Martin: 00:01:48

For example artwork of a podcast in the past

Martin: 00:01:52

it was like a few ones that you could pick or choose between and it was called like music

Martin: 00:02:00

album, like a square.

Martin: 00:02:01

Like you have the vinyl album, you could look

Martin: 00:02:04

at it like that and then you get this perfect size for the artwork.

Martin: 00:02:10

It's like maximum I think it is like 4000 pixels times 4000 pixels.

Martin: 00:02:15

And then it has to be in taking a small space like is it 500k or something like that.

Martin: 00:02:21

So it doesn't take too much space on your phone when you look at podcast artwork and

Martin: 00:02:27

click on it.

Carina: 00:02:29

I think in this way Martin, the whole picture, it also depends on what you have,

Carina: 00:02:37

what you got, what you want to illustrate, should I say?

Carina: 00:02:40

If you want to illustrate the landscape of flowers, bakery people or a logo type for

Carina: 00:02:45

example, then the picture you can use it in many ways to get the whole picture.

Carina: 00:02:52

And I think the best things to use is the square because then you can use the picture

Carina: 00:03:02

for different platforms.

Martin: 00:03:04

And for different things that's good in this area in a podcast.

Martin: 00:03:10

So today we'll use here if everything goes according to plan tool called visi FM then you

Martin: 00:03:19

could have like this is a short podcast and episodes.

Martin: 00:03:23

So maybe we don't have so many segments, introduction, call to action, something

Martin: 00:03:29

content in between.

Martin: 00:03:31

But you are creating nice artwork you could

Martin: 00:03:34

say and squares and images for posting on Facebook and Instagram using Canva I think.

Martin: 00:03:42

So that we will include in these show notes and in the artwork.

Martin: 00:03:47

And you could say then in the chapters like different segments.

Martin: 00:03:50

So when you use a new podcast app, you could then see the image that karina has created and

Martin: 00:03:58

you could, for example, have an image of a book cover, like your books for example, or

Martin: 00:04:04

some other things.

Martin: 00:04:05

And when you watch the screen at the same time

Martin: 00:04:08

as you're listening so that we will test and doing this time around.

Carina: 00:04:14

Yes, but we work different.

Carina: 00:04:17

I am a person who prefer canva and I do a lot

Carina: 00:04:20

of things on that platform but I also know people that doesn't use it at all and create

Carina: 00:04:27

it for example in their PowerPoint and used the computer's tools to work with their

Carina: 00:04:37

picture.

Carina: 00:04:38

And you have also a lot of other platforms you

Carina: 00:04:43

can use for this I found.

Carina: 00:04:45

And I hopefully we can get it in English as

Carina: 00:04:49

well.

Carina: 00:04:50

But we had a top ten of all these programs for

Carina: 00:04:56

picturing, for using different tools for your pictures and we can take and put that link in

Carina: 00:05:04

our Show Notes.

Martin: 00:05:06

Yeah, there on the top of the list it was gimp for example.

Martin: 00:05:10

So that's an easy tool to use and I will come up with another one that I have used, I think

Martin: 00:05:16

it's a pixelr or something like that when I then created or adjusted or podcast artwork in

Martin: 00:05:22

order to get it according to the specification of Apple podcast and that was easy to use.

Martin: 00:05:28

And also you had a link there.

Martin: 00:05:30

That interesting how in the early days if you

Martin: 00:05:34

created websites and programming you could get an interest of investors and others.

Martin: 00:05:40

A guy who had something called Video Plus, I think, and then he sold this company and now

Martin: 00:05:46

he's into the food business or something like that.

Carina: 00:05:50

A very interesting program on Swedish television and we also put a link to that

Carina: 00:05:58

program in our Show notes and that's there you can see how important a picture really are to

Carina: 00:06:09

get people interested in what you are doing.

Carina: 00:06:11

So the picture it says thousands words.

Martin: 00:06:15

Use to say so the call to action to download a new podcast app and you could look

Martin: 00:06:22

into the show notes for that different ones like fountain and podverse and others and then

Martin: 00:06:29

you could look on it and see the chapters and the images that we have included in this

Martin: 00:06:36

episode and see what you think about that.

Carina: 00:06:39

Sounds nice.

Carina: 00:06:40

Really nice.

Carina: 00:06:41

Now Martin, I have a beautiful sun here, so I'm going to for a walk, I think a morning

Carina: 00:06:48

walk.

Martin: 00:06:49

Yeah, have a nice walk and listen to a podcast.

Carina: 00:06:52

Yes, absolutely.

Martin: 00:06:54

Cheers.
