Whatever you’re doing with your portfolio development right now, it’s too important to let it slide! Inkygoodness challenges give you an unrivalled opportunity to test your skills on industry level creative briefs set by leading digital agencies.
Our masterclasses will lift the curtain on the creative process as we unpack campaign work for global brands Giass, Pacific&Co, Bright Brewery, Chilly's, Tsuno and Campos presented by illustrators commissioned to deliver unique packaging design - giving you unparalled access to the secrets behind their studio practice!
Our 28-Day Challenge will kickoff on Monday 6th November and will include:
Prizes. We’re going to bring in prizes* to provide even more focus and motivation for you to complete TWO Packaging Illustration Briefs.
Challenge Programming. Over the course of 28 days, we’ll provide a step-by-step structure for how to tackle a Packaging Illustration project, from creative brief to research; concepts, client feedback, artwork and delivery!
Daily Check-Ins. Think about them as a “daily accountability” to keep you on track.
Weekly Break-Out Rooms. Join our community for lively discussion, group sessions and extra support along the way.

Joining our community is just one of the things that makes our 28 Day Challenges special. Here are a few words from artists who completed the last challenge and why the experience is unbeatable!
The absolute best thing about the challenge has been the connections made with other artists inside the Inkygoodness community. I was absolutely blown away by the feeling of camaraderie, kindness and genuine support for each other as we tackled each brief, but also how inspiring and motivating it is to work alongside such incredibly talented creatives. Genuinely one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Just like the last challenge it was hard and exhausting but totally worth it. The amount of feedback recieved from agencies and illustrators was crazy - I think every single piece of work got reviewed. Best part for me was the incredibly supportive and amazing community. Without it I probably wouldn’t have been able to meet all the deadlines. Also, the Hedof talk will go down in history as one of the most entertaining illustrator talks ever!

I had a great time doing the challenge. I was looking for community after recently joining the full-time freelance world, and this challenge provided exactly that. It was great to jump into the chat, or onto zoom to chat to the other participants and get feedback on my work. The level of support was really helpful when trying new things, and made the whole thing so much more engaging.
Holly Szczypa (UK)
Illustrator & Inkygoodness Collective Member
I joined the challenge with a little hesitancy, knowing I had to juggle with full time work, kids and the small task of getting married. But I am so glad I did – I loved the projects and the sense of community I got from the whole thing. During the challenge there was a constant buzz from the group, discussing their ideas, tips and tricks and giving each other feedback. Absolutely brilliant experience. Bring on the 28 Day Packaging Challenge!
