Begin by getting to know what a newsletter is and the different formats that exist, based on communication objectives, and see why defining your target audience and brand identity are crucial to designing effective and eye-catching newsletters.
Then, learn to work with Adobe XD and Canva to create your graphic layouts and transform them into templates that are quick and easy to manage and modify, even on your smartphone.
Now it's time to work on your final project. Organize all the content you've compiled, such as photos, color palettes, fonts, and logos, and map out the objectives for your newsletter based on your product and audience. Create a mood board, prepare your workspace in Adobe XD, and start designing your newsletter.
Once you've finished your layouts, transfer them back to Canva to create a set of templates that are both web- and mobile-friendly. Federica rounds out the course by showing you how to upload your completed newsletters to Mailchimp and send them to your subscribers list.

El curso está muy bien explicado, a buen ritmo. Los recursos que da son interesantes.
Quizás esperaba más explicaciones y manejo de Canva. Eso se me ha hecho corto.
El XD y como hacer las plantillas está genial.

Il corso è sicuramente valido, la docente molto brava a spiegare. Non avevo inteso che si trattasse di newsletter totalmente basate su immagini - sulle quali non sono d'accordo per motivi di sicurezza della trasmissione del contenuto. A ogni modo ho scoperto un programma interessante (Adobe XD) che funziona molto bene ed è intuitivo. Sicuramente passerò da Adobe XD per poi esportare direttamente da photoshop lo trovo più comodo e veloce. L'esperienza su questo corso è positiva!
