3×3 Design Challenge

Sketch Design Repeat hosts an annual challenge, 3 prompts, 3 weeks in a row. I entered last year, it was my first design challenge as I’d only just started pursuing surface pattern design that month. Suffice to say I submitted my designs, but didn’t hear much after that. This year, I’m already seeing a lot more engagement on my posts – and certainly I’ve learned a lot this year. My drawing has improved greatly, I am getting a handle on what resonates with people, and I am getting a handle on how to maximize my efforts through social media.

The results come out on April 11 – and there’s some very stiff competition. I don’t expect to take any top prizes but I am very happy already with the progess I’ve made in a year. And that’s it’s own kind of win!

My three entries:
