Hunt Challenge: Negative Space
For those who aren't familiar with the term, negative space is, well... everything that's not your icon subject. If your subject is a person, a tree, a ship, etc, the negative space is that which surrounds your subject, be it outside or in between.
This challenge will ask you to use that negative space and make it noticeable in your icon. This means the focus of your icon - be it person(s) or object(s) - can't take more than 2/3 of your icon space.
EXAMPLES OF VAILD ICONS:
