Welcome to the HOMwork Challenge Archive
This isn’t your grandma’s lettering + design challenge (sorry grandma, love you!).
HOMwork is a free, weekly creative challenge to help you sharpen your skills, stay motivated to create, and *finally* get comfortable sharing your work online.
Each prompt is packed with insightful musings about the creative process and standing out online. If you’re bored of lettering challenges that just give you a list of words, HOMwork might be exactly what you need.
Below, you’ll find every assignment from Season 1 to complete at your own pace (or just read for inspiration!). Make sure to browse #HOMwork on Instagram to see the artwork that people have created from these prompts! And if you know anyone who needs a creative boost, send them this page or give them the link to sign up to receive the new prompts.

Seriously, I’ve gotten the sweetest emails from participants who say they actually look forward to opening their email on Friday mornings because of HOMwork. Yup, that one’s definitely getting added that to my resume.
