Round 03: Themes

[immortalje]

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 25 December 2012 (Wednesday)

Prompts:

•10 Themes: actor*, guess who*, hair, hurt*, inside*, levels, numbers*, rotated, silhouette, upside down
•5 Category: technical*
•5 Artist's Choice

*actor: Make an icon of your characters' actor/actress
*guess who: Identifying features of the character should be hidden either through cropping or picture choice (or whatever other means) - like "cutting off" the eyes or showing their back.
*hurt: This can be taken as a character being physically or emotionally hurt or sick.
*inside: The character should be inside something - a building or a fortress (inside the walls of Helm's Deep would count even without a ceiling)
*numbers: Either show several versions of your character, a play on the word numbers (e.g. advantage in numbers) or plain and simple: add some visible numbers to the icon

*technical: Use technical effects of your choice such as using a fake background, cropping styles, frames, colouring, texture use, text and so on.
You're free to choose 5 different effects or stick with just one for all 5 icons - or using more than one per icon. It's also fine to make two with a fake background and going for cropping style with the other three.

If you have any questions regarding any of the prompts, please feel free to ask in a comment to this post! If possible, I can also see about providing examples :)

Question?

[vanillasonata]

For actor theme, it can be found in Behind of Scenes.

For the levels theme, kindly, explain that theme because I don't know about that.

Re: Question?

[immortalje]

For the actor theme you can use Behind the Scene images, but you could also use images from premieres, tv show appearances or other photoshoots (for example for magazines).

As for levels - it means that you should show at least 2 levels of images. This can be done horizontally or vertically. The levels don't have to be an equal height/width (although mine usually do)

Examples would be:
(all by me)

And here's an example with vertical levels:

I hope that helps and if there are any questions left, feel free to ask :)
