Round 42: Inspirations

[rocketgirl2]

The changing light
                 at San Francisco
       is none of your East Coast light
                none of your
                            pearly light of Paris
The light of San Francisco
                        is a sea light
                                       an island light...
from "The Changing Light" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Round 42: Lights
What better way to ring in the new year than with a round dedicated to lights, both symbolic and literal.  As some of us add a bit of electric cheer to our longest nights of the year, others are in high summer...but all of us have just moved in to 2015.  As you make your icons for this round, we ask you to not only work with your lighting (though each icon should show some effort in that area) but also to consider what parts of photoshop you've been enlightened in over the past year, and what skills you want to further illuminate your process with in the upcoming twelve months.


・All icons must be made specifically for this challenge, and by you.
・Icons must be inspired by this post and its contents, and fit the theme laid out in this post.
・Icons must be within LiveJournal standards (100x100 pixels, .png, .gif, or .jpg format; 40kb or less).
・Your post should provide 3 examples and a cut (real or fake) leading to a public post.
title: Round 42: Subject
tags: entries: username, round: 42, claim: subject
・Please remember to thank and credit the makers of any resources you find through this community.
・A list of participants and their claims can be found here. Sign-ups will be open until the end of the round.
・Icons are due Wednesday, the 21st of January at 11:59 pm EDT. (Countdown)
