To celebrate the start of a brand new year I am setting a challenge... all you have to do is illustrate one word - in could be any word, maybe your word for 2015 or just a favourite word. I'd like to see a typographical element in your design but you can be creative with that

I want to keep this brief really open and simple. Use whatever mediums you like - could be purely digital, could be a painting or something more physical. 

If you could upload your designs in the projects section of the class, I will be looking through all of them and choosing a winner on the 1st March. The winner will receive one years free membership to Skillshare.
