Today we’re thrilled to highlight a few designs from this month’s Portfolio Power Ups Challenge theme: Polka Dot Party.

The polka dot is the most versatile pattern in existence, but that doesn’t mean it should be boring. This month’s challenge was to add a unique spin on this often undervalued coordinate to make it a star in its own right.

Our goal with Portfolio Power Ups is to help you grow your portfolio with an art challenge in a way that’s sustainable long-term, designing with timeless surface design themes that art directors will want to see season after season.

If you’d like to join the challenge for next month, simply submit your details below. You’ll be added to our email list. New themes are revealed each month.

We can’t wait to see the art you’ll create! Until then, here’s a gallery of all the submissions we received for this month’s theme. Enjoy!
