• Online - e.g. It'sNiceThat
• Social - e.g. Instagram, consistency is key

Challenge: To get some press coverage at some point in the academic year.

Tips:

• Research. Correctly identify what the publisher wants.
• Read any submission guides.
• Work on an extended practice project with a really tight visual output.
• Potentially create a project that involves a series of coherent pieces.
• Think about time zones.
• Insights on Instagram.
• Redirect onto other platforms.
• Looks at pieces and replicate their format but using information about yourself.
