Our Mocktober Design challenge is back again this year!
For anywho who hasn't yet heard about this, the Mocktober challenge was started by the US-based agency Elegant Seagulls, and it is a Halloween-themed design contest. It is a beloved internal tradition here at Kooba now, and we love seeing what our designers and developers come up with each year.
With Mocktober, the creativity is boundless and every aspect is in the control of the designer or developer. Here are Kooba's 2023 Mocktober designs!
