as December brings the Founders' Choice Awards.
November 2018 Design Challenge

**Before any of you get started on your design, be sure to read and understand what monochromatic design is all about and note that not all of the color palettes shown in this blog post would work for the Monochromatic challenge. Only the single variations of one color and that will be what our design calls for choosing one color and using only the shades, tones and/or tints to create a monochromatic design. The palettes in this post which show a mixture of colors would not be allowed in the challenge.
