ROUND 12: INFORMATION
Round 12 is here! This post contains all the information you need to enter your icons. Please, if you've signed up try your best to post your icons. I'd love to see all 35 people participate this time! :D
DON'T FORGET: Try and comment on everyone's entries and leave them positive feedback! :D
And now, let's begin Round 12!
ROUND RULES:
» Icons must be made originally for this challenge, no prior work may be submitted.
» All work must be your own, not someone else's.
» Please make sure all images are PG Rated. Meaning, no graphic violence and keep their 'bits' in their clothing or covered and profanity free so that everyone can go view your icons. :D BUT if you're not sure, just ask. :)
» Icons must fit the livejournal standard. under 40kb, 100x100px and in either .png, .gif or .jpg file format.
» When posting the finished 20 please leave 3 icon examples, not just a banner and a link to the icon post or lj-cut.
» Post the completed icons at once.
» The icon post must be unlocked for two reasons. 1. because Aurelia, Sandy and myself need to see the entries for voting and 2. So people don't have to join to view your icons.
» Don't submit your icons to this post.
» ALL entries are moderated which means that either myself, Aurelia or Sandy have to accept the entry before it's made visible to the public.
» Please use the provided table to post your icons for convenience. (of course, you can change the colours of the table)
» Please add your own tags, and do it using the following format exactly:
entries: round 12, round: 12, user: 'you', celeb: 'chosen celeb'
» Completed 20 are due NOVEMBER 20th in your timezone.
ROUND 12 POSTING ACCESS: If your name is listed here, you have posting access.
ROUND 12 TABLE + THEMES:
(10) The themes are: books*, border*, close crop*, cover*, full body*, half*, hat, holiday*, no face*, sitting
Ok, I'm going to explain the confusing-ish ones, just in case. :)
books: The celeb must be reading, posing with books, be standing by a bookshelf... something with books. Textures or stock images are perfectly acceptable as well.
border: There must be a border either around the entire icon (like the second example I have for category) or just around your celeb's face (like a picture frame or something)
close crop: The icon has to be cropped very closely, so that it's basically just the celeb's face
cover: Must be a magazine, CD, DVD, etc. cover. You can use the back of a DVD if your celeb hasn't been on any covers, and if you absolutely cannot find some kind of cover, you may use a promotional picture for a movie/tv show/etc.
full body: Your celeb's entire body must be in the icon
half: Half of the icon needs to be of your celeb, and the other half needs to be white, black, grey, a texture, etc. Example #1 , Example #2
holiday: Whether it's Halloween, Christmas, or something else, it must be obvious that the icon represents some holiday
no face: The crop must cut off the celeb's face Example
I figured "hat" and "sitting" were pretty self-explanatory :P
(5) Category: Shapes. Your icon must have some kind of visible shape in it - but feel free to get creative! You can use circles, squares, etc., but you can also use textures or stock images with flowers, apples, clouds, etc. Also, if the image you're using already has a shape in it (see third example) that's fine too. The mods are going to be pretty flexible, but remember: the shape must be clearly visible.
Good Examples:
