Decorative icon contest! (2016 edition) [CLOSED]

**AlexiaLee** · 07-02-2016, 06:24 PM

The iShop needs some more decorative symbols/icons aside from what we currently have. The forum needs your help on it and aarinfantasy will be awarding you for it. However, it is not just some random copy from internet site images and paste it here. You can do that but you need to fulfill several criteria for the picture to be valid for this contest.

This time there are 2 categories: Decorative & Deco series.

You can enter on both categories or just one.
Criteria for pictures is the same in both; for Deco series, all 6 parts of the series should be balanced and look pretty as a whole and each part separately, just like the deco series we have. Do take note that the postbit doesn't have spaces between each card. When the current deco series were made, the cards in the postbit had a 3 pixel space between each one hence they look now a bit out of place.

DETAILS

Criteria for picture:

Must have transparent background.
Must be saved in .png
The area size of the picture must be 60 pixel(height) x 50 pixel(width), the symbol itself can be around the size like what you see in the iShop.
Think of symbol that can be used for both dark and light background.
If you have chosen an existing symbol but with a non-transparent background, please clean/clear it up first using Photoshop and paste it on a transparent background.
It can be fancy or very simple.
Not animated.
It can be existing image or an image you created by yourself. If it's an image you created on your own, please include it as a note in your entry.
Not a must but preferably something that's not very flat or looked like a card image... something with a bit of 3D or shadow too if that helps. Please think about images that you might want to be a part of the iShop.
Do remember to keep the .psd of your file just in case.
Better sample size that we prefer will be like this:

Types of symbol needed:
We're specially looking for music notes, sweets, new designs of couple symbols like × or /; and dots/patterns (or any decorative item that doesn't imply couple/romance but beautify the postbit).

How to post your entries:

Upload your pics to an external hosting site like PhotoBucket, imgur, tinypic...
Post your pictures in this thread using [IMG][/IMG] tags or the "Insert Image" button. Please don't copy text link only and make sure your links are not broken until we give out contest points.
You can post up to 10 pictures at maximum and 1 picture at minimum. 1 deco series count as 6 pictures unless one part of the design is blank in which case only the "colored" parts will count. For example, this design count as 3 pictures:
If you wanna add more pictures in your post later, just Edit your post.
Due date is 15th August 2016 so you have time to edit your post 'til then.
Anyone in the forum can participate including staff members.
Example of post: music note, dot, dot, cross, slash (this counts as 5 pics already) + 1 deco series with 5 parts = 10 pictures.
Don't post something you feel you don't really like just to get entry points =x

PRIZES

FAQ'S

aarinfantasy reserves the right to pick or not pick a winning symbol at the end of the contest, just in case all the symbols are not what we're really expecting. And most of all, please accept that aarin might not choose your entry eventhough it looked fantastic in many people's eyes... aarinfantasy is picking what she feels is suitable for the forum.

Full disclaimer: I suck at Photoshop. The only thing I'd be able to change is the size or the shadows, but here are my entries. All images found online.
