Round 25: Information & sign-ups

[abyss_valkyrie]

Welcome to Round 25! Since every 5th round is a special round, the rules are slightly different for this round.
Voting will be for best icons in each set and best sets. This challenge will run for 30 days.
Sign up with your username.
There are 10 various summer-y themes to choose from. You can create 10 icons using one theme or choose as many themes as you like from the given ones. Example: You can create a set of 5 'bright & sunny' icons and 5 'Tropical' icons or a set of 3 'dressed' icons, 3 of 'Let's go' and 4 'Shade' icons for a total of 10 icons.


1. Bright & sunny
Create icons showcasing the bright and sunny days of summer by using lighting, quotes, a scene etc.

2. Art
Painting, sculpting, photography, scrapbooking etc. are all forms of art that are perfect as hobbies during summer holidays. Icon actual art or use paint textures, collage ideas, polaroid textures or anything that makes your icon artsy.

3. Rest
Laying under the warm & cozy sun on a chair, in a beach, on the bed or just taking a break and letting yourself rest are some of the things to look forward to during summer holidays.

4.Heat
It goes without saying that the heat of summer is especially up this year. Use red,orange,fire-anything hot! But as with all themes, you can interpret this to be something that burns like summer love too.

5.Shade
Ah, a cool shade from the hot sun is a relief. A pair of shades or hats also, obviously, count for shade.

6.Let's go
What is summer without an outing? Be it to your nearest grocery store, the beach, another country, a road trip -there are endless possibilities! This isn't limited to traveling, you can icon movement in any form.

7. Ocean
A dip in the ocean and swimming with merpeople and dolphins sound fantastic but since we can't do that, let's showcase some love for the ocean in our icons. Icon aquatic creatures, use aquamarine colours and so on.

8. Dressed
Dressed for summer in dresses,shorts, light clothing and whites are the way to go.You can alternatively just take this theme and focus on outfits and clothes in your icons regardless of the season.

9. Tropical
Think palm trees, pineapples, fruity drinks, resorts,pinks,yellows and turquoise or anything else that looks tropical to you.

10.Cool down
Finally, it's time to chill, relax and cool down with an icy drink, a popsicle or turn on the AC, maybe travel to a cold country or just watch a winter-themed show/movie. You can use blues and whites,snowy effects to achieve cooling effects in your icons too.
