2020 was a crazy year to say the least with the Covid-19 pandemic causing chaos and disruption across the world. During these difficult times however, with the increased amount of time available for self development and creative exploration due to strict lockdowns globally, we saw a stream of talented individuals using Briefbox to push their design skills to the next level and get their portfolios looking super tight.

With the complete re-fresh of our library released with the  brand new site in early April, we also added loads of new brief sets and courses. It's been both exciting and inspiring seeing what our community of creatives can do with our get-your-hands-dirty leanring style. We also added tons more guidance, creative direction and pro designer examples to help teach you how to get client-ready working on practice projects.

To kick this year off with a hit of creative inspiration we wanted to put together our absolute top-picks from the massive pool of student submissions we saw. Here is a round-up of our favourite design work completed by Briefbox students in 2020.
