Week 1 Challenge: Palette Problem
This week we're doing graphic design — and we're putting you in a box. A very pretty box.
Your challenge: Design a flyer for your product, brand, or passion project — using only 2 colors.
That's it. Two. Pick wisely. 👀
The constraint: Two colors maximum — and one of them has to be unexpected. Not your usual safe choice. Push yourself.
Think: deep plum + warm cream. Burnt orange + slate blue. Forest green + blush pink. Something that makes people stop scrolling.
What you're making: A real Instagram Stories / TikTok flyer you could actually post — to promote a product launch, an event, a collection drop, a service, anything. This isn't just an exercise. Make it yours.
A few things to play with:
- Let typography do more heavy lifting when color is limited
- Lean into contrast — light vs. dark can do a lot with just two shades
- Think vertically! This format is tall — use that space intentionally
🎨 Using a product photo? Pull your two colors from the photo itself — pick two that contrast well against each other — and use those for all your design elements. Everything stays cohesive and the challenge still holds. ✨
