Here is the first submission post of the new challenge format~ :D Since there are two themes per challenge, I'm increasing the number of submissions from three to four. You can make four icons all from one theme or the other, or mix and match and make icons from both themes. Sometimes the two themes will be related, but other times they will be completely random. You do NOT need to include both themes in the same icon.
☆ THEME ONE; The first theme for this challenge is
ECHO. For this theme, you could echo icon elements, include the word 'echo' in icon text, or take a more abstract interpretation of the theme.
☆ THEME TWO; The second theme for this challenge is LIFE ~ Menomae no Muko e ~. For this theme, your icon has to be based on Kanjani8's LIFE ~ Menomae no Muko e ~ single. You can use single scans, lyrics, shop photos, or screencaps from the PV. I was going to provide screencaps, but I can't seem to find a version of the PV that my screencap software will play nice with. >.<;;
Please feel more than free to interpret the themes how you would like! We encourage wide interpretation. Be sure, however, that your icon fits the theme. If you feel that your icon may need explanation, please explain; it will help us determine the suitability of your submission. If you have questions about the theme or the validity of your interpretation, please feel free to contact me. If your icon does not fit the theme, we will inform you. You will have until the submission deadline to correct it.
