you must contact capelle cause I'm not mod here anymore, sorry!

This is where you can apply to get membership and participate in the challenges.

Read the rules before applying :)


RULES

1. This community is an ELITE CHALLENGE COMMUNITY (which means: only good/excellent/oustanding icon makers can participate), if you are not going to participate don't apply. Just watch the community instead :)

2. Introduce yourself, your name, where you post your icons, and how many time you have been making icons.

3. Submit 15 icons of your LATEST STOCK ICONS (no less, no more, and please NO more than 3 months old), show us variety! variety is love and we want to see your use of coloring, textures, cropping, use of text, and also how you use the different themes in stock images, so please varierty! don't show us all stock icons from people, we want variety! ). (it's more than possible that I check you graphics lj to see your work too). (remember that stock images are NOT fashion images or text images from weheartit or fffound).

4. Please apply only if you can handle rejection and constructive criticism. We just try to help with our commments/recommendations, so don't get mad! If you can't support it GO OUT OF HERE!

5. Once approved you will be sent an invitation to join the community. (You can check it * HERE *).

6. Finally, we don't claim to be the best iconmakers or something stupid like that, just simple we want the best makers participating, so please don't take it personally when you are rejected. And please don't argue or create some drama. If you want to participate in a challenge like that just go to createandshine or wordaffiliation which are public communities, everyone can participate.

You can re-apply after 2 MONTHS if you see you have improved.

7. Fill out the below form:

8. This community looks for VERY VERY GOOD ICON MAKERS, OUT OF THE ORDINARY! THE LEVEL IS HIGH.

*** your icons must fulfill these points AND MODS must check them and judge them!:D

- perfect coloring in every icon! variety of coloring ; not always the same coloring!
- not blurry!
- good sharpening! (that means NOT oversharpened icons)
- don't dull, off coloring, or washed out.
- good placement of text! (text must fit in with your icons, in terms of font choice and colour); you need to post some samples with it!
- good use of textures! (don't overload the icons with tons of textures, but we need to see your use of textures! so please show us your samples with textures)
- good croppings.

***** BE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR E-MAIL NOTIFICATIONS TURN "ON" CAUSE I'LL DELETE ANSWER APPLICATIONS AFTER ANSWERED THEM, OR ONE/TWO DAYS.

9. You need to write in the subject of your comment "Let imagination lead the way", in order we see you have read the rules.

Sometimes it takes us long to answer some applications, if this is your case is cause we are waiting to see new icons at your lj that helps us in our answer cause we are undecided with your icons. Also, sometimes we don't get the notifications of this entry. Sorry for the waiting =)

ACLARATION OF WHAT STOCK IMAGES ARE:

fffound and weheartit images are not all stock images - only a 10% are stock -, they're bookmark places where people mark lots of images not exactly ALL stock. I mean the 'text images' like those: 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. | are NOT stock pictures. Those are text pictures

>> Good sites to find stock images: veer || gettyimages || sxc.hu || inmagine
