Design Battle — monthly online design competition

Nika

I had an absolute blast at the battle! I saw exactly where my challenges are and what I need to work on. Hope the next Dysarium has a battle like this too Planning to join again!

Anatolii

The battle topic is really cool, a bit unexpected, but pleasantly surprising 👍 It was hard to make every block look great — after the battle you analyse everything and realise where you could have done better. Overall — great, hard and sweaty, as it should be. You grow in battles like these and can look at your own level more clearly 🤟🏼 😀 After the battle your head is genuinely exhausted. Thank you for the opportunity!

Masha

Really great task! I agree with the previous comment about media — a lot of time went into that 😅 The battle itself is top, happy to be a participant!

Oksana

It was my first time at a battle. So many emotions 🤪 When I started research I realised I know almost nothing about the history of Ukrainian design. The topic really inspired me. I decided to dedicate time to studying design history in the near future. I absolutely loved it — and I realised that for the next battle I need to have a good font pack ready. Thank you 💫

Max

Hey, it was great — the hardest part was showing up at 9am 😅 I have a lot of work on, but I'm thinking of joining after New Year. Really awesome format!

Veronica

It was a test of my skills as a designer, researcher and art historian Thank you to the organisers for the experience. Can't wait to see the results.

Yulia

The topic is great, very interesting. I agree that searching for materials took too much time. I got so into it that I barely managed to do anything 😅 But I read about so many fascinating figures in the history of Ukrainian design. The battle is still 🔥🔥🔥 I've been here since the very beginning — these adrenaline swings never stop being exciting ❤️

Liubomyr

The battle was an incredibly great experience. So glad I joined. A great chance to shed light on different things Planning to join future battles.

Anastasiia

I liked the topic, but I had to read the brief a couple of times — at first it seemed like I had to show the entire history of the last 1000 years, and there was no time for that 😆 I noticed that interesting ideas appeared in the second hour, while the first hour produced more standard solutions out of fear.

Serhii

Hey, nice to meet you. All good, loved everything. The format is identical to 2hdb so I knew exactly what to expect Yes, I'll keep going.

Nataliia

Hey! I really enjoyed it — the winners' results inspire you to grow and keep going I saw my weak spots where I can level up and strengthen my skills. After some time I'd like to try again 👀

Kate

Hey 👋 I spent about 15 minutes figuring out whether it should be a landing page or a platform. In the end I focused on the second option and made something like a platform screen for searching candidates. Not sure if I understood the brief correctly, but I had fun Thank you 🔥

Nadiia

Hi, nice to meet you Everything went great — it was my first experience, a little nerve-wracking, but very exciting. No questions. Yes, I think I might continue.

Snezhana

The first thing that came to my mind was the Lezo platform and I used it as a UX base. Stressful because the clock is ticking. AI helped a lot.

Anastasiia

It was a new experience for me and I'm thrilled, thank you! Really loved the battle format — a great opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and start changing your approach to work.

Maksim

I'd been following the last battles and got the impression it was all about web — so a platform was unexpected It took me about 30 minutes to build the architecture. Didn't manage to draw everything. But it was interesting. Afterwards I did it with AI — tried Pencil and Cursor, both using ClaudeCode. 30 minutes and voilà.

Stanislav

The offline battle was wonderful, I loved everything The only thing missing was the full ranking — not just the top 30. Curious what place I came in.

Olya

It was tough 😁 For the first time ever, 2 hours was genuinely not enough — and the power cut was really stressful, completely unexpected. After the battle I went deeper into the difference between a landing page and a platform — so extra thanks for making us switch our brains on.

Nika

I really enjoyed it. Although of course — after submitting, as always, I found what I should have fixed 😂 It would have taken literally 2 minutes. I also made my own website after the previous practicals.

Nataliia

Hey! It was so interesting to be at the competition — I fully took the advice to just enjoy the moment Even though I didn't finish in time, it would be interesting to try a different approach to planning the site structure.

Julia

It was very interesting but the task wasn't entirely clear to me. Did we need to make a landing page with a funnel, or an onboarding explaining the platform? That's where I got stuck. I tried to make something in between. The idea itself is really cool though. Also — the task from last month pushed me to finally make my own portfolio website. Very grateful for that 🥰
