The XD Daily Creative Challenge is a regular feature of Adobe. You can keep up with Adobe Live by installing the Behance plugin from the Chrome store. You can see what other designers have created by searching Behance for XDdailychallenge. If you like, add your work to Behance for feedback. As Adobe Live adds challenges, I will add them here.
