FULL DESCRIPTION & PROJECT GUIDE
Designers, Design Month Fun Challenges are back! This time, we want you to come up with an Instagram design poster about Topcoder Community. There is no desired outcome, no specific colors or ideas, but just a chance for you to have some fun and design something super cool!
For this challenge, we are asking you to use to create design artwork in a meaningful way that able to reflect the "Topcoder Community" and put the design artwork to a template (Instagram poster size) that we provide in the challenge attachment.
Your design can be as simple as a Topcoder Logo, message for the community, or to a fellow designer to more complex as maybe make the face of one of the admins, or modify TC event photos. The exploration is big and the only thing we ask you to follow is to keep this related to our community or site.
However, there is a twist in this challenge, you cannot use any ordinary design tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Xd, Corel Draw, Inkscape, Figma, or any other instant editing design tools. Hohoho, no way, that’s too easy. In fact, please use the oddest software that you can find to create the design. Excel? Command Prompt? Slack Emoji? Manual drawing? Your call!
