Round 04: Rules & Info

[immortalje]

I wish everyone a happy new year! I hope 2014 will prove to be a good one for all of you :)

Remember, sign ups are open all months long as fewer than 15 people have signed up. If you want to join in, comment here and join the fun :D

This post contains all the information you need to enter your icons. Breaking the rules might lead to a disqualification for the next round.

Rules:

• Icons must be made originally for this challenge. No prior work may be submitted!
• All work must be your own, not someone elses!
• Make sure icons aren't adult in nature!
• Icons must fit the Dreanwidth standard: under 40 kb, 100x100px and in either .png, .gif, or .jpg file format.
• Post the finished icons at the same time to this community.
• When posting the finished 20, please leave a 3 icon preview. You are free to post them here (with a cut) or a direct link to the entry.
• Don't lock the icon post: The mods need to access them for posting the voting and others want to see them after all. (This doesn't apply when the icons are all posted to this community instead of your own journal/community)
• Don't submit your icons to this post!
• All entries are moderated: This means they'll be public once a mod approves them. The mod will also tag them at this time!
• You don't need to tag your entries! (But you're welcome to, if you want to do it :) )
• You may change/adjust the table as needed (or code it yourself) for as long as the prompts are still in relation to the icons (the same goes for switching between US/UK spelling and any other variations I'm not familiar with)
• Please use this guideline for the subject: Round# - Claim
• If possible, try to comment on everyone's post - they most likely would like comments as much as you do :)

Completed 20 are due on 20 Janaury 2014 (Monday)

Prompts:

• 10 Themes: blind*, close*, fake background, far away, green, light*, recycle*, repitition*, shadows, white
• 5 Category: socialising*
• 5 Artist's Choice

Explanation:
blind - your character's eyes shouldn't be visible either by cropping them off, by the character looking away or the character having closed their eyes
close - this could be a close crop or the character being close to someone else.
light - either use light textures or use images with lights like head lights or light beams from the top (or other directions) - Example for light beams from the Doctor Who episode "God Complex"
recycle - re-use an image you used for one of the other icons in the set.
repitition - (noticably) repeat the image at least once. You can use other images or alter the focus of the image, but it should be obvious that there's a repetition. Example icon by me

socialising - your character with at least one other character.

If you have any questions regarding any of the prompts, please feel free to ask in a comment to this post! :)

About recycle, isn't old icon or I mean, that icon is made by few week ago or something? And about the repitition, give me one example icon of it, thanks.

[immortalje]

Sorry for taking so long to reply!

Recycle is about using an image again that you used for any of the other icons in the set you make for this round.

As for examples of repitition (all by me):


I hope that helps :=)
