Info
• You must be a member and have signed up for this round to participate.
• All icons must be newly made for this round. Do not use previously made icons.
• You are allowed to use pictures containing nudity and graphics imagery. Just keep those behind you're Cut tag with a warning out of the cut.
• If you would like a participation banner make sure you wrote it outside cuts/links.
• Please do not post your icon set to Photobucket or tinypic, use other free image hosting sites at this time while that site is going through what it is doing. Chances are your images will not show at all if you do. I do however recommend: Cloudinary (similar to photobucket), Imgur, Imgbb & any others you can think of that work well.
• You're icons do not have to show both characters in all them. Though some of them need to show both characters.
Posting
• Post only once your set is completed. Do not submit your icons to this post, instead make a post of your own using the guidelines below.
• Your icons must fit DW standards and be made specifically for this round. 100x100px and either .png, .gif or .jpg file format.
• Provide three (3) teaser icons and hide the rest behind an cut, or provide a link to your icons should you post them elsewhere. If posting to an outside source your icons should be made public for the duration of the round.
• Please, if you participate try to at least check out the other participants entries. It's another reason why we have an unlocked rule. You would want people to check out yours and vice versa, it's only fair.
• Fan art is not accepted; use caution when choosing images. DO NOT USE BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOS, unless the theme calls for it. You may however use Episode Still, posters and Promos. Animation is allowed, just not in every single icon.
• Use the table provided or use your own if you'd like, but keep the themes in order.
• DO NOT ADD TAGS TO YOUR ENTRIES. A MOD WILL DO THAT.
• Posting is moderated; once your post is submitted please await approval. If your post hasn’t been approved within 48 hours please contact me or comment to this post.
• Please add the following subject, just add your username. FORMAT AS: Round 01 - Your Claim - Your Username.
As always thank you for the suggestions, I used some for this round.
Themes
Complete 10 themes, 5 category, and 5 artist choice icons.
Individual themes:
| Ships20in20 | Emphasis Word | Object Shape | Text Box | Picture Frame |
| Red/Black | Complementary Colors | Eye Sex | Song Lyrics | Not What It Seems |
EXAMPLES
Ships20in20 - We need a community icon! Icon your couple and make sure 'ships20in20' is included and fully visible in your icon!
Emphasis Word - Use text with most of the words in one main font, but put emphasis on just ONE word by using a different font on it.
vanessa_lj • raiindust • lady_turner
Object Shape - The subject in this icon should be inside a block that is not a regularly shaped geometric block, but the recognizable shape of some thing/object.
earlydreams • tilty • poisonfield
Text Box - Use text that is at least partly inside a block/box/bar/another shape.
neatmonster • nyaza • shadedcolor
Picture Frame - Icon your couple claim with a picture frame, they do not have to be in it if you do not want them to. Up to you, just as long as you include one.
Lady_turner • Lady_turner • lady_kingsley
Red/Black - The only two colors allowed in your icon are those: red and black.
still_glorious • nickygabriel • ladyhadhafang
Complementary Colors - Rather simple. Basically this, either canonically contrasting or the icon colorized in that way (one half red, one half green, for example).
daynawashere • second_love • pamkips
Eye Sex - Show your couple looking into each other's eyes in a sexy, flirty lusty way.
plug_in_baby • marinasicons • jessswann
Song Lyrics - Another simple one. Use any song and put some lyrics in your icon.
alata_elentari • alata_elentari • alata_elentari
Not What It Seems - This one is very creative, you must hide the part of the character, use textures, other pictures in way that we knows who's there, but the part of picture must be hidden.
schryosel • schryosel • theotherayn
Category Set - Our Story - For your category set you have to tell the story of your couple in chronological order, as far as you have seen, if you picked a couple from a show/book/movie ect, franchise that you haven't finished, just stick to what you know so far. If it's non canon you can icon their friendship from beginning to end or where it's left off.
