Round 16: Simplicity
Round 16: Simplicity steers us back to the base of our style. There are many ways to make an icon look simple and clean, and the final products may look deceptively easy. Whether you choose to use textures or not; to emphasize colors or stick with a more limited palette; to try new and different crops or stick with those proven winners, this round invites you to explore a simpler sort of beauty.
