Challenge Two - Couture Du Jour
Welcome back to ProjectNarnia! Congratulations to all six of you who have made it to round 2! Your icons were lovely and lots of you have budding talent that is sure to impress in this next challenge of the week...(s)! :P If you havent looked at last weeks winners, go here.
CHALLENGE TWO - COUTURE DU JOUR Couture, by defintion is high fashion designing. Couture features much of the 'little details' that can make designing so fun...and painstakingly time consuming. An icon that could be called couture would have much detail that is lush and very 'high fashion.' Below are two icons with detail, made by myself. One is more couture than the other. Once you see the differences, you'll understand.
This first one is more couture. It has very little 'picture' and much detailing into it (like the stripes going down the side, and the sparkles.) The fancy text is also very minimal; it just adds to the icon and could be the centerpoint, but is not ugly Arial. It could be called a 'Royal' font, one you'd see on a King or Queen's proclomation. The picture of Edmund is coloured and toned down to almost blend with the detailing and not stand out like an orange hunting vest.
This one is not as couture as the first. It does have little details to it like the tiny text, and purple colour dot, but other than that there is not much detail. These icons should be full of details; little things to show your hardwork and dedication to designing and graphic making. The text, violation, is not a couture font. It is very popular these days but popular isnt what you want...you don't want to make a 'popular' shirt you'd find in the bargain basement everyone's wearing.
If you have any questions regarding what is couture and what isnt...ask!
Le Fabric Store
Your icon must contain this picture in it somewhere. Make sure loads of details are visible though. :]
And instead of a model to use, this week you each have a theme....They're all Narnia Awards Categories. And you bet if your icon does will you'll be getting a nom from me. :]
