FAQ

Rules for Creation
Use whatever tools you'd like, unless otherwise noted in the prompt. Draw your design or complete it using the software program of your choice. Not sure what something means? Research it! Save your work as an image or take a photo of it. Get creative!

Due Date
Post your work by each Sunday (or earlier if you'd like) in our Discord forum.
Share your work and your constructive feedback.

"Do I have to complete every weekly prompt?"
It's up to you how many prompts you participate in. But the more you practice, the more you grow your design muscle. Take each prompt as far as you want to take it. Some of your work may have portfolio potential, while other designs may just be learning experiences. All practice is good practice!
