THEMES/PROMPTS
1. Large Floral Texture: You must use some sort of large flower/plant texture in your icon. Here are some gorgeous examples to gain inspiration from:
(bad_numbers - ekilinc - emharri - happy_day90 - longerthanwedo)
(marishna - naginis - spittingfish - starkwars - tilty)
2. Favorite Font: Choose your favorite font of all time, then use it in an icon :)
3. Atop Head: Your celeb must have something on top of their head. It could be a hat, sunglasses, etc. You could add on a flower crown, or animal ears. Anything you want, as long as it's on atop the head!
4. Light or Dark: Your icon must consist of your celeb and either a totally white background or a completely black background. Nothing else in the icon, just your celeb and your choice of either a light or dark background. Some examples for inspiration:
(crucified - x_lostinthesun - jsfunction - latemorningicon - obrozey)
5. Open Mouth: Your celeb must have an open mouth - they could be laughing, yelling, feigning shock, cheering, etc.
6. Elements/Weather: Show me any kind of weather or element in your icon.
7. Half B&W + Half Color: Your icon must be half in black & white, and half in color. However you wish to go about this is completely up to you - You could use blocking, you could duplicate your image and desaturate it, you could have your celeb in color with the background b&w, or vice versa. Gorgeous examples are gorgeous ;)
(petite_tomate - adriftingsea - wildpages - xoaubeox - punk4life1315)
8. From The Nose Down: Icon your celeb from the nose down.
9. Negative Space Scenery: Make an icon that has both negative space within it AND some type of scenery/landscape.
10. I'm Like A Bird: You have to use some type of bird texture in your icon - it can be a full large bird, smaller birds flying, you can also use bird wings or simply feathers. Some lovely examples:
(sietepecados x2 - wickdshy - paperdreamss - happy_day90)
Category Set - In Character Rainbow Pick any ONE character that your celeb has portrayed and make a set of that character, with each icon depicting a different color of the rainbow. You can use ANY colors you want, in any order that you want. If your celeb is a model, you could use one specific photoshoot or runway show. If your celeb is a musician, you could use one photoshoot or music video, etc.
(bangel_4e - fassy - fulminant - latemorningicon - shadedcolor)
