Here's my set for round 30 at monthlyinspo! The round was SUPER difficult for me, because the theme was to icon things we enjoyed in 2019 or are looking forward to in 2020. I took this to mean that only new movies/shows would be acceptable and not the same old shows (LOST, DW etc) I've still been rewatching and loving in 2019, so I had to really think hard - was there anything at all that was new that I liked in 2019? The 2020 portion wouldn't do because literally the only things I'm looking forward to are the new all star seasons of US and Australian Survivor, and I like to make random icons of these sometimes but definitely not a full set cause that requires taking my own caps. So I started looking at music, which is also difficult cause I listen to random weird music (my favorite genres are catchy folk, dark cabaret, and 90s eurodance) and not so much anything contemporary that anyone would recognize. In the end I found the one exception, which is Lana Del Rey. I love her music, her vocals and lyrics are so atmospheric and really tell a story. I iconned my ten favorite songs from her 2019 album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!. I couldn't find any caps from any videos so I chose to make this really hard and icon her photoshoots and other images combined with lyrics.

I put so much into these, I really hope you'll like some of these, and if not, there's also a lot of random icons in the alts/extras (some for challenges, most made just for fun). I know that this post is a bit much, I promise there will be more even simple/complex ratio in the next post, but for this set I just wanted to go crazy. Anyway, enough rambling! Take any you like, and please share your thoughts ♥ Hover for fandom / song :)

Oh, where do I start? I feel like a kid in a candy store with all the pretty colors :D And TEXT!!! Text icons are my favourite! ♥

Okay, so great choice for choosing Lana del Rey! She's absolutely beautiful and I love her music. The color combinations are amazing, I love the deep blues in #1 and the way you positioned Lana on the text is so creative. #2 is another one of my favourites, so many different colors and yet they compliment each other very well, great use of fonts too. #4 is all kinds of amazing, you always make b&w on color to look great (yep, #6 too). #7 is my absolute favourite from the set - the crop, the placement of the text and the monochrome-ish coloring are perfect. Great typography on #8, I'm so jealous how you can make so many fonts work together, I pretty much stick with two and that's it :D and I also like the vintage look. #10 - cyan & yellow are such iconic color combination, always love the way it looks and here it's not an exception!

From the misc icons I really love the Raven icon (as I've said previously). The Buffy icon is great - the unnatural coloring, the text, that border texture (omg, I used to overuse it A LOT :D). It's always nice to see Regina icon, it is soo pretty, that fandom produced so many great icons ♥ The quote in #25 is so funny and overall the composition is great! Also love the painted look in the Sherlock icon!

p.s. maybe we should make S02 of the random character project to help with the new fandoms struggle? :D

Omg thanks so much for this lovely comment! I was pretty happy with each of these separately, but when I put them all together like this I was worried they'd just be too much visual overload. Your comment makes me less worried about that, I'm so glad you like this set and found so many good things to say, thank you! ♥

Oh, I do wish I still had the time for some awesome project like the random character project was! It was so much fun, I'm glad you reminded me of it, and I even found one of my current favorites (Free!) from it. I was finishing my degree at the time, with only a couple of courses left, so I had a ton of time just to sit around and watch random stuff. Now that I work full days it's just impossible to find the time, and tbh the lack of new fandoms isn't a problem for me other than in this specific type of challenge. I'm happy just watching the things I know I love, I feel like the shows that are popular now are super not for me, I feel like everything new seems so fast-paced. I wish there was another truly epic, emotional, slow-moving show like LOST, which still remains my favorite, but I seriously doubt it. But perhaps there's some other type of icon project that we could do without the watching component in it, I don't know, I'll think about it :)
