Challenge 2--Bonus 3--Twicon Banner Sets
This week our regular round and bonus round are dedicated to non-icon projects. I'm particularly excited for this Bonus Round--Banner sets.
As you all know, this challenge has been particularly slow-going on the banner front. Even having alternates did not really help because they were all MIA. While I'm going to enforce a deadline policy next challenge, I still anticipate some problems because, hey, shit happens. Real life gets busy, people get bored and go MIA, inspiration takes a vacation, or you simply forget. And that's okay, but it leaves me banner less.
So, the challenge here is to create a banner set that I can use for the rounds where we end up banner less. This is a unique challenge, so read all the rules carefully--there are a lot. And because it's so involved, each person who enters will earn (5) points. Remember--no reminders are given for Bonus Rounds. Hopefully the uniqueness of the challenge and the extra points will be an incentive for you all. And hey, it affects you too--these could end up being your banners for next round!
