+   Welcome to our brand new MAC x Collab 
+  Stuck at home but still want improve your technical skills?
+
+  MAC is kicking off our weekly collaboration sessions aimed at giving you the
+  opportunity to build your own projects while learning with others.
+
+  These sessions will vary depending on the rotation and will range from a
+  student teaching other students, to a group of students following tutorials
+  together online. The ultimate goal is to be able to create a final project!
+   Our First Session is a Website Redesign! 
+  Often, you will look at a website and find that it looks good but realise you
+  are unable to explain why.
+
+  Our Marketing Director Jasmine Bañares (https://cutt.ly/meet-jasmine) will be
+  giving an overview of what User Experience is, and then move on to the
+  hands-on part of the workshop which is the website redesign!
+
+  She will be talking about what makes a website "good" by going through some
+  important UX principles and how to apply them. She will also walk through the
+  website design process as well as the reasoning behind certain design
+  decisions.
+
+  For the second part of the workshop, you will be getting your hands dirty by
+  re-designing a website using Adobe Illustrator (currently free for students!).
+  It should be noted that the process can be done using other softwares or
+  tools. However, for the purposes of the workshop we would like to request that
+  everyone has Adobe Illustrator installed and ready to run!
+
+  If you've ever wanted to learn about the hands-on nitty gritty stuff in
+  website design, tune in to learn more!
+
+  This is also a special mention to FIT1050 and FIT3175 students. The first
+  major assignment for FIT1050 will be on a website redesign – join us to learn
+  about how and what principles you should be adopting in your work. For FIT3175
+  students, feel free to come along and learn how to use Adobe design tools to
+  create your mockup.
+
+  To learn more about Jasmine and her journey in design, check out her portfolio
+  here: jasmineellaine.tumblr.com (her and Monica are responsible for the
+  graphics that you see in MAC!)
