05. [multi] round 24: opposites attract for monthlyinspo
May 28, 2019 20:54
Welp, long time no post. The last month and a half has been wild for me (let's leave it at: really busy at work and getting busier, had little free time and inspiration) and I never got around to posting the April update post, which is halfway done. So I'm lumping it together with the other May icons. It's been quite a month and a half.
I was, however, quite determined to participate in this month's monthlyinspo challenge because I loved May's contrasting techniques theme and lbr, May is my birthday month and I like entering some big challenge right around this time. Whether I made it justice (or chose the right icons from all the ones I made), you be the judge ;) Hope you like them :D
techniques/themes (in order): close and far crop, real and fake background (or day/night), color and black&white, warm and cold color, high and low contrast fandoms: the west wing, this is us, passenger, superstore, the good place, bones, jane the virgin, you're the worst, thirtysomething
(hover for theme and fandom!)
alternates fun fact: at one point, all the icons in the top row were in the set + another one I ended up using for itsabattlefield.
[some more babbling]My original idea was to 2 icons for five different shows and I got fairly far into making them... but then I hit a wall and couldn't get inspired or I wasn't that convinced. This seems to be a theme this year when it comes to making icons. Which means... the alternates are the icons you'll probably like the most! But of course, 'I want the set as a whole to look good' was another priority. (You can probably guess which 5 shows would've been it ;))
