SF2020 - Bonus Round 0: Graphics
We are kicking things off with the traditional Graphics round! In this round, you get to make banners and icons for other teams to use during the event.
This bonus round will be open until Sunday, June 14th at 11:59pm (midnight) EDT. (Countdown)
This round is now closed!
New comments will be screened while we score the round.
If you posted or edited a fill while comments were being screened, please use the comment unscreening form to let us know so we can unscreen it!
Rules
- Create a set of 2-6 icons or 1-3 banners (or a combination of the two!) for any qualifying team that's not your own (including Grandstand!) For your convenience, here's the team roster.
- No NSFW fills will be accepted for this round. This rule does not extend to other bonus rounds.
- You may only create one set of graphics for any given team; however, you and your teammates can create graphics for the same team.
Scoring
- Fills 1-5 by any member of your team: 10 points each
- Fills 6-10: 5 points each
- Fills 11+: no points, they're just for fun!

Resources
To create your graphics you may use: official series art (screencaps, manga pages, artbook/magazine illustrations, etc.), fanart, quotes, lyrics, gifs, or any other medium. For fanart, gifs, and other fan made content, you must have permission before using them in your graphics.
- Pixlr - an online (no download necessary) image editing program. A great place to start if you're on an older computer or one that's low on hard drive space.
- GIMP - Despite its unfortunate name, GIMP is an excellent free image editing program.
- Lost and Taken - A collection of high resolution textures.
- Font Squirrel, Lost Type Foundry, and League of Moveable Type - Free high quality font resources. They're all hand-picked or created by professional graphic designers.
- Icon-Extras - A resource for icon tutorials and the like. Also features textures, brushes, bases etc. that are particularly good for icons (rather than the all-purpose textures at Lost and Taken).
- Resource Cards - This site links to tons of free online resources, everything from fonts to icons to photoshop templates.
Remember: Dreamwidth icons are 100x100, and can have a maximum filesize of 40 kb.
Banners are typically around 150-400px tall and 400-800px wide. This is pretty flexible, though.
