What is the WWWorkshop?
If you're a designer, then you know how important it is to stay creative. At Inktrap, that is what the Wonderful Wednesday Workshop (WWWorkshop) is all about.
Every Wednesday as a studio we take time to flex our creative muscles and come up with a range of outcomes to a design challenge in Figma – all in just 30 minutes. Each week someone on the team will come up with a design challenge based either on an idea they have or by using the handy WWWorkshop Idea Generator tool. https://wwworkshop.inktrap.co.uk
Stuck for ideas? Use the Generator!
The WWWorkshop Idea Generator is a great way to get the workshop started if you are struggling for challenge ideas. Simply select a design area (UX, UI, or visual design), click "Generate" and wait to see what comes up!
Once you have your challenge all you need is a group of people on a shared Figma file and you are ready to go.
How it works
The setup is simple, with a core rule being not to take it too seriously. Challenges and their outcomes should be quick, fun, and simple. For example the one week we could look at redesigning TikTok in a Renaissance period style and the next we could be re-branding fast food companies but in a high-end fashion style.
Once we have our challenge, it's time to get designing! The team separates to focus on designing their outcome using whatever plugins, stock imagery, or fonts that they have at their disposal. Once the timer is up, we'll discuss the designs and give friendly feedback on what we liked about each outcome.
The WWWorkshop is a great way to learn new Figma tricks, stay creative, and most importantly - have some fun with the team!

And remember if you are stuck for a design challenge you can always rely on the WWWorkshop Idea Generator to help you get started.
