Round 6: Themes
They're finally here! I hope you guys approve of them, aentee and I worked hard. XD
So without further ado, here they are:
:D'>1. Food
2. Dominant colour
3. Silhouette
4. Shakespeare
5. Old paper texture
6. Innuendo
7. Motion
8. Favourite official image
9. Faceless crop
10. Destiny
11-15: Sequence of events
16-20: Free choice
To help you with the themes:
1. Food - Conceptual/technical. The icon has to include some sort of reference to food, whether it'd be an image depicting food, or a word depicting food or related to it. E.g. "sweet"
2. Dominant colour - Technical theme. The icon has to make use of one dominant colour, e.g. red, blue. This colour should be visible in MOST of the icon.
3. Silhouette - Technical theme. The icon must include a silhouette within it, whether it'd be the pairing, one character from the pairing, or another element/image in the icon (e.g. some sort of object, like a flower/hand, etc) used as a background effect or just one, dominant image.
4. Shakespeare - Conceptual/Technical. You must include a Shakespeare quote or some form of Shakespeare reference in your icon.
5. Old paper texture - Technical theme. You must incorporate an old/worn/torn paper texture into your icon. E.g. something like this: http://sheisnotsweet.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2wfkxw YES, THOSE ARE MY TEXTURES, BUT I AM TOO LAZY TO FIND OTHERS AND I'M NOT SHOWING OFF, HONEST.
6. Innuendo - Conceptual theme. This can either be humorous or serious, but there must be some sort of suggestive innuendo depicted through the icon. It can be a look from one character to the other, a touch, a situation they've found themselves in, etc, ironed to be seen as innuendo. (Some pairings make it easier than others).
7. Motion - Technical theme. Your icon must show some sort of motion from the characters. E.g. walking, running, falling, jumping, etc.
8. Favourite official image/s - Technical theme. You must use one of your favourite official images of the couple, e.g. from a colour spread. If you do not have a favourite official image with the couple together, you can photoshop it from 2 different official images of the individual characters. (We will not be accepting anime screenshots or manga panels here - yes they are official, but the challenge is to use something different. ;))
9. Faceless crop - One or both of the characters should be cropped in a manner which does not show their face. E.g. from the neck down or cropped at the side without the face showing.
10. Destiny - Conceptual theme. Your icon should be an interpretation of "destiny" for how see fit for your claimed pairing.
11-15: A) You must use images from one scene to create a sequence of events, almost like a mini storyboard. The images can be sourced from manga panels, anime screenshots, or both, to help you get different views/perspectives on the scene and thus, make a better "sequence of events".
Example for A:

B) You can also create a mini storyboard from the entire relationship of the pairing. E.g. a sequence of events of their significant/your favourite moments.
Now go forth and icon, make us squee over the pretty!
