Your task now is to make an icon out of each one of them.
You can use other caps in your icons too, but please make the chosen cap the main focus of the icon!

The deadline is 28th Feb, but don't hesitate to ask if you need more time.

And for most of you that is probably ridiculously long for just 12 icons, so you might want to consider taking one of the following extra challenges: (these are completely optional, but of course I'd love to see icons for these as well! :D They'll all be included in the battle post.)

Extra challenge 1 - themes
You came up with some awesome themes, and they're just begging to be used!

negative space

vintage/nostalgia
levels
monotone
song lyrics
darkness
black & white
blending
blue
blur
emptiness

vibrant

So for those of you who want more challenge, extra challenge 1 is to either mix and match these themes with the primary or secondary caps, or to make a new icon with self-chosen caps for the themes.

You can do the extra challenges partially and use only the themes and caps that inspire you. Also feel free to mix them up in any way you like. The only rules are that in the end there must be an icon for all the primary caps, and that each icon you make for this battle must use at least one of the following: a primary cap, a secondary cap or a theme.

When you're done, submit your icons as a reply to this post in the following form. After everyone has submitted theirs, I'll make a big result post with all of our icons where people can comment to each other.

//Edit: I'll make the comments screened so that everyone's icons will be revealed at the same time - this is just to keep an element of surprise and so that everyone's interpretations will be as different as possible!
I'll unscreen all other comments (discussion, questions etc).

I hope that made any sense, if not please ask, I'm terrible at explaining stuff :p Also let me know asap if I made a mistake with the caps or themes or anything!

If anyone still wants to join and do the already chosen caps, you can sign up here at any time before the icon submission deadline.

Hope you'll have fun with this, and please do express any thoughts, questions or concerns you might have :)

Thanks for entering!! :) and yay, so many icons! Can't wait to post them and comment on them :>
I'm screening your entry until then, I guess it didn't get automatically screened because you're a member.

I didn't even notice that.. thanks for catching. Yeah, mod entries tend to not be screened. :)

Hi! It seems that your icon for the Darkness theme is 200x200px, so could you resize it? Don't worry, i'll include it anyway, but if it stays that big I'll need to use HTML for showing it in 100x100px and its quality might look worse that way, so I really recommend doing the actual resizing :D
It's taking me forever to make this post so if you happen to see this before I've made the post (which is a high likelihood) you'll have time to make the change :)

I just resized it down the way it should have been. :)

I'm in the process of getting a post together myself. :)

Oh, cool :D Hope it goes a bit smoother than the one I'm making - right now I'm thinking if I should just split the results into two posts (one for primary and one for extra challenges) or if ~200 icons in one post is somewhat bearable :p

It went better. Just got it posted... 8 wallpapers.. whew! :)

Hmm... might be easier to split it up into primary and secondary...Good luck on getting it together. :)
