Harry Potter LIMS Entries

I recently entered my very first LIMS competition. It was so much fun and I really learned so much about icon making. Here are all my entries in order along with some of the many alternate versions I made along the way.

OMG, they're stunning!! All icons are just gorgeous I just can't stop staring at them right now *__*
I love how you use textures and fonts, and your coloring is fantastic :D.
My favourites are 1 and 4 from the first batch and 8, 9, 12 and 14 from the second ^^.

I can't wait for my summer vacation because I plan to read all the books =D.

Thanks so much Iza! You make me blush!

Yay for Harry Potter love hehe. I'm working on reading the first book in Italian since I've nowhere else to practice my language skills right now and I practically know the book by heart lol.

I have it in Polish too ;) Though I don't understand any of it...lol.

But they're really gorgeous ^^. And I forgot to add that they're also very creative - I have some problems with that recently and finally I end up making some simple icons which looks similarly.

Practicing through reading is great and in my opinion brings good results :). I've learnt many words like that.
And wow - I'm not surprised that you don't understand because usually for people from other countries Polish is pretty hard to learn :D. But do you like our covers? (I don't know which book you have but I'm just curious :) )

[beybey16510]

The creativity is a lot due to the challenges we had to do, many of which were things I had never done before like text-only icons and black & white with selective coloring. It was so great to get to try out so many new techniques!

Yep, Polish isn't like any language I've studied at all. I did know how to say hello and goodbye at one point but that was it lol.

Actually your covers are the same as the American ones. I have the first book.
