WEEK 16 - And the award goes to...

Written By Lauren Hom

Hey HOMwork friends, happy Friday!

(If this is your first time joining us, take a peek at our Challenge Archive for all previous assignments.)

We've got the amazingly talented Annica Lydenberg as a guest teacher this week! Annica, of Dirty Bandits, is an art director, lettering artist, illustrator and mural painter working with agencies and brands to create more authentic products, campaigns, and spaces. Work done by Dirty Bandits is fueled by Annica’s deep appreciation for type, her interest in storytelling and dedication to brands and individuals working for social good. Projects include working with companies on campaigns, branding, books, lettering projects, and murals.

From Annica:

I’m a big believer in making creative presents for people! Do your friends know all the ways in which you appreciate them?! Think of something you adore about one of your friends and make them an award!

Your Assignment: Pick someone in your life and letter an award for them! It should begin with ‘World’s Best ________er’.”

Award Examples: 

  • World’s Best Trashy TV Co-binger 
    (for that friend who won’t shame you for watching Married at First Sight and checks in every week to recap)

  • World’s Best Last Minute Planner
    (for that friend you can always call for last minute hang outs)

  • World’s Best Playlist Maker
    (for that friend who you stalk on Spotify, following all of their playlists)

  • World’s Best Puppy Lender
    (for that friend who brings over their dog for snuggles when you’re feeling down)

  • World’s Best Outfit Adviser 
    (for that friend you text pictures to while you’re getting ready to go out)

Caption Idea: Tag the person you're giving the award to and let them know why you think they're the World's Best ________er

Don't forget to tag @homsweethom and @dirtybandits then follow and use the hashtag #HOMwork so we can see all your awards! We’ll be sharing our favs in our stories all week! 

Love,
Annica & Lauren 


P.S. Score this limited edition print! This wall was painted by Annica and Adam Fujita in Bushwick, Brooklyn in 2017. The wall no longer is up, only this print remains.

Over the next few years (and thanks to the power of the internet), she leveraged a few clever passion projects into a thriving design career.

When she's not designing, you can probably find her cooking an elaborate vegetarian meal at home or finally making her way through the niche craft supplies she bought last year.
