Challenge08;
This challenge was inspired by xenylamine and a crack!fic I read half a year ago. We've passed the halfway mark for the round, so congratulations on having made it this far! Go with it!
Scenario;
Photoshoots as an idol can sometimes get out of hand. And you reckon that coming up with a list of the "10 Most Horrifying Photoshoots in all History of Johnny's" wouldn't be that hard. First would be that time when you had to dress up as Santa's little helpers, complete with the pointy ears and pointe toes. Coming up a close second would be the one where you had to hang upside down from monkey bars for the entire duration of the photoshoot (which, quite obviously, gave you a pounding headache for the next three hours, and bloodshot eyes for the rest of the week). Then there's the time where a group of managers had decided that having a series of themed shots for all the groups featured for the week would be good; which quite predictably led to prolonged periods of lying in beds, wearing fluffy pink pajamas and cute yellow bunny-slippers ("Oh look! They're even colour-coordinated now!").
You wondered if there was a hell specially created for managers and people who thought up these photoshoots.
Briefing;
For this challenge, you only have a single theme option. Depending on your interpretation of this theme, you may make your icon accordingly.
Rotation: When the world spins 'round and 'round
›› For this theme, you will have to rotate the original crop (between 45 degrees and 315 degrees) made from any media. This also means that you will have to submit a copy of your original scan in your submission, so that we can ensure that the crop has been rotated.
›› Your icon must be visibly rotated between 45 degrees and 315 degrees. Should either of us feel that this icon has not met the criteria, you may asked to resubmit.
›› Your icon must feature the dominant colour "red". We will be slightly more flexible on this one, especially given how it isn't the focus of the challenge, so anything like this, this or this may be acceptable (first two by myself, and last one by xenylamine). Should you have questions on this section, do not hesitate to ask!
Deadline;
The deadline for this challenge is Monday, 8th December 2008, at 8.00PM EDT [-4:00 GMT]. Please use a timezone convertor to ensure that you've got the right date/time.
