Januiry is a project I have been thinking about for a long time. The goal is simple, to make a design every day to improve my skills. Quite a challenge!
I'm sharing it here because I think it can be a good challenge for everyone and with several people involved you are more motivated!
Rules
The rules are very simple:
01. Make Interfaces for App, website or anything else.
02. Post it online*!
03. Hashtag it with #januiry and #januiry2022
04. Repeat every day of January

The most important in this challenge is to have fun!
You can do it daily, weekly, stop it in the middle,
or whatever you want. The goal is to improve!
So consistency is the key

* The sharing part is important because it allow you
to have feedbacks 😊
Prompt List
The prompt list only serves as a guide to get out of our comfort zone, to explore new things, to come up with innovative ideas. You can take the following list or make your own 😃.
Januiry Guidelines
If you want to use the assets I produced for the challenge and put them on your creations or anywhere else, here they are.
Just don't use my designs for commercial purposes.
F.A.Q.
This part is still in work-in-progress. As I get more questions, I will be updating this page to add them. Please contact me and put “Januiry - For the FAQ” in the subject line.
Thanks!
What is Januiry?
Januiry is a month-long graphic design challenge. The goal
is simple: make a piece of design every day for the month of January,
improve your skills, and develop your creativity. Everyone is invited
to participate and to create design.
Remember to use the hashtags #januiry & #januiry2022 if you want your piece to be seen by everyone.
Is Januiry a contest or a challenge?
Januiry is just a framework to push yourself to design more, show your skills, improve them and/or have some fun. Januiry is a challenge NOT a contest to see who is the best designer. It’s a challenge to see how much we can improve our skills in a month, and to be inspired or to help inspire other designers to do the same.
When is Januiry?
Januiry is this January 2023. Post your first Januiry design on January 1st and your last on January 31st.
Where do I send my Januiry creations?
You do not need to send your design to me. Simply post on your own social media account and tag it with #januiry & #januiry2022. Others will be able to see it and you can follow those tags to see the work of everyone else.
Where is Januiry?
There is no official location or convention for Januiry. Wherever you live and create is where Januiry is.
Do I have to use the prompt list?
No. The prompts are there to help spark your creativity. If you have another great idea, go for it!
Can I do anything other than interfaces?
Yes, do what you want. The challenge is just an excuse to practice. If you want to do user research, letters, logos or anything else, you can! Just create 😁
