		+	Your assignment for this week is to leverage the discussion from class and resources [[Online:Site Building (CMS) Solutions\|Site Building (CMS) Solutions]] & [[Online:Email Hosting Services\|Email Hosting Services]] to locate and try a handful of online portfolio services over the next few weeks. We will review your progress every week as we close in on the best plan for each of you.
		+
		+	You will be trying multiple website options (Squarespace, Wix, Cargo, etc..) and/or many themes.
		+
		+	'''Few things to keep in mind:'''
		+	* Do you need project galleries or lots of different images in a flat container?
		+	* What are the most logical navigation and project list options for you?
		+	* How well does your theme work on mobile?
		+	* Does your website design match your personal identity (Logo, type, color and all)?
		+
		+	'''For next week your assignment is:'''
		+	* Look at a handful of illustrators' websites (link above), take note of what you like and what you do not.
		+	* If you have a website already, go look at it! What do you want to change? Does it look like the rest of your self-promotion work? Do you need to change the way you are curating or organizing your work?
		+	* Begin to craft a plan for what you think will be ideal.
		+	* Gather up a fresh set of images that loosely represent the type of work you will have on your website.
		+	* Study up on [http://cargocollective.com Cargo Collective], [http://www.myportfolio.com/ Adobe Portfolio], [http://squarespace.com Squarespace], [http://weebly.com Weebly], [http://wix.com Wix], and [http://format.com Format]. You can trial all of these for '''free''' before you make them actual live websites with real domains.
		+	* Explore the themes available to you on all these services and try TWO different explorations.
		+
		+	'''Clarification:''' You can try two different themes on SquareSpace, you can try one theme on Cargo Collective and one theme on Wix (for example).
		+
		+	Each of the options above will let you explore/test a website design and generate a custom URL that you can share with others/me for review. Some of them will also generate a preview code or password for when you want to send it to somebody for review.
