Apologies from your mods for getting lost at sea (or getting lost in Christmas).
I hereby declare January to be an Amnesty month. This means that there is no official challenge, but that you are encouraged to create icons fulfilling any of the previous challenges, and to post them here.

Previous challenges can be found at:

Go! Make icons! Have fun!

Due to the wonderful H1N1 and the fact that only two people have made icons for the "Out of Focus" challenge, I won't be able to post a poll until Monday at earliest. Please consider taking the time to enter 1 or more icons. Thank you! :)

Please submit your entries for November's challenge until Monday, November 16. Thank you!

yvi

There is one more week to enter icons for this month's Out of Focus challenge.

Welcome to challenge #2x06, "Out of Focus".

For this challenge, each icon you make must contain a part that is out of focus or blurred. Whether you take pictures that are already out of focus or whether you blur certain parts yourself is completely up to you. It can be background or foreground.

( more and rules and dates )

In short:
Due 16th of November, post entries here, don't show them elsewhere.

If you know any good tutorials for this challenge, please post a link.

And please pimp this far and wide!

Also, if you have any ideas for challenges you would like to see, don't hesitate to suggest them in the suggestions post.

Apologies for the supreme lateness of this! Hopefully things will be better next time, as our helpful co-mod

yvi will be leading the dance next month. Which is rapidly coming upon us!

The results of Challenge #2x05, Shadows are:

Thank you, everyone!

I've also revealed the entries in the challenge entry post.

Now, discuss! How did you make your icons? Techniques, tips, difficulties? Were the tutorial links helpful? Did you find other helpful tutorials?

This is the voting for Challenge #2x05, Shadows. Only seven entries this time.
(yes, my computer is mostly back now)

Current Mood: okay

There will be a slight delay in closing and collating the current challenge, as I am suffering from computer meltdown (figuratively) and much of my spare time in the next (few?) days will be spent fixing it. I am posting right now from my laptop from an internet hot-spot, so I'm not completely shut off, but...
Please take the next few days as an extension, and enter! That might cheer me up a little.

Current Mood: blah

Yo! It is the last weekend before Challenge 2x05 is due! Only two entrants, and that's with the extra time too. 8-(

Current Mood: sad

kerravonsen

It is the weekend. Perhaps you would like to work on Challenge 2x05.

kerravonsen

Due to the fact that
(a) there are only two entrants so far, and
(b) I am still not well
I have decided that Challenge 2x05 will also be the challenge for the month of October. In other words, y'all have two more weeks!
So it is now due on 12th October. I shall update the challenge post accordingly.

Current Mood: exanimate

Only one more weekend to work on Challenge 2x05!

I am sorry for the late reminder.

Challenge #2x04 is due today. Please finish any icons you wish to enter and comment with them until tomorrow.

yvi

Challenge #2x04 is due August 16th. You now have two weekends and one week left to enter icons into the challenge.

kerravonsen

Hello again, folks. Since the poll on challenge-length was tied, I'm leaving the challenge length at two weeks, because it's more flexible.

Welcome to challenge #2x04, "Viva la Revolution!"
For this challenge, each icon you make must contain an element which is rotated; an image which is rotated, text which is rotated, or both. This does not mean that the icon should be animated, just that it should contain elements which have been rotated at an angle, whether that be a 90-degree angle or some other angle.

This challenge is now closed.
( more and rules and dates )
In short:
Due 16th of August, post entries here, don't show them elsewhere.

If you know any good tutorials for this challenge, please post a link.

And please pimp this far and wide!

Also, if you have any ideas for challenges you would like to see, don't hesitate to suggest them in the suggestions post. No, I'm not running out of ideas, but feedback is good.
