04-03: Hide and Seek
ROUND 04
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Challenge 03: Hide and Seek
Hide-and-seek or hide-and-go-seek is a variant of the game tag, in which a number of players conceal themselves in the environment, to be found by one or more seekers. - from Wikipedia.
Whether or not Hide and Seek originated as a means to teach survival skills, it does a good job of it. Survival of the fittest in the form of a children's game.
THE CHALLENGE
This week's challenge is to make an icon that contains a "hidden message". This can either be text or it can be an image hidden in the background. However you choose to accomplish this is up to you.
You will need to provide me with description of what item(s) are hidden and I should be able to see it with that. This is also important because there will be an "I spy" bonus available in voting to those who can correctly guess what is hidden in 5 or more icons.
BONUS CHALLENGE
And in case that bonus isn't enough, you can make a second icon for 2 bonus points. This icon must fit the theme of "seeking" and can be expressed in any way you'd like.
For an added bonus you can meet the bonus criteria that applies to your team. For each item you include you will get one bonus point. You cannot gain points by using criteria from the other teams, only the ones for your own team. You are free to interpret the criteria however you see fit.
PIRATES: team color*, an "x", dashed line, brown**
NINJAS: team color*, weapon, horizontal line, white**
ZOMBIES: team color*, brain, zig zag line, pink**
ROBOTS: team color*, binary, vertical line, orange**
*At least 10 pixels worth of the color must be visible.
** At least 30 pixels worth of the color must be visible.
participation
The challenge is open to all participants who remain.
