ProjectFiftyTwo is a weekly design competition between 6 designers. Derived from a want/need to create original and insightful work, the project centers around each designers separate interpretations of the same 3 random elements. These include: a random word; random Wikipedia article; and a Wildcard element from the previous weeks winner.
Each weekend, the designers anonymously post their piece to the shared ProjectFiftyTwo Instagram account where the design with the most votes/likes after a week is crowned champion.
