  • Single Image Five icons created from a single image/cap of your choice ( example). All icons must be noticeably different from each other. You may use textures, stock, and basic color/image manipulation, but do not edit a sizable amount of imagery in or out of the icon (ie, add or subtract a person from the image).

    NOTE: This is the only part of the challenge this applies to - major manipulations are welcome elsewhere.


  • Five icons of your choice, following the round's guidelines.
If you have any questions, or need samples of the themes, let me know! Happy iconning!
