This Week's Design Challenge is Live!
yesimadesigner.com/schedule?tab=challenges

This week, you'll be creating a Spa Break Advert designed to help you practise one of the most important graphic design skills... composition.

Using just one image, your goal is to create a calm, minimal advert that feels premium, balanced and visually engaging.

Before you submit your design, ask yourself:

✅ Is there a clear focal point?
✅ Does the layout feel balanced?
✅ Is the typography easy to read?
✅ Is there enough white space?
✅ Does every element have a purpose?

Whether you're just starting out or already have experience, this challenge is a great way to improve your layout, typography and composition skills while building your portfolio.

Checkout the brief, create your design, and share it with the community.

We can't wait to see what you create! 🎨
