Assignment

1. Finish up and submit your website

If you did not attend class or submit the ink for your final website, you must complete this by May 6th! Make sure your branding across the web and print is cohesive and familiar. I will be looking for this!

Like last week:

1. Use bit.ly/2025-web-submit-3 to submit your work
2. Be prepared to present your website in class next week.

2. Make a Newsletter

As discussed and demonstrated in class, your assignment is to set up MailChimp and send me (and optionally your classmates) a newsletter.

• Get a free MailChimp account or use your current one.
• Create an audience and import the class's email list (plus me hello@matthew.nyc).
• Draft a newsletter (with illustrations and your self-promo projects) and send it out to the class. This can be real, "Check out my new website" or a fictional story/project.
• Your newsletter should match the brand of your website.

Send out your newsletter by the beginning of class time on Monday.
