Week #010

2011-11-28T07:04:29Z

technical: spin the color wheel
Since it's our 10th challenge here I thought it'd be a good idea to do a free for all theme~ Plus it'll be a slow week, I feel it. (IT ALWAYS IS FOR MY THEMES. ;A; SOB) I've seen this theme used in a ton of comms I'm in & it's always a theme that's popular so I thought I'd try it here. :) Spin the color wheel at this website & use the colors provided by the generator in whatever way you feel is awesome. OH & I WANT PROOF! GIVE ME A CAP OF THE COLORS YOU GOT. :l Have fun, it's a free-for-all theme besides that~ I know people hate free-for-alls but idk how people feel about the other themes I want to use. :< (NO RLY: CRIMINALS...)

lyrical: No Light, No Light by Florence + The Machine [listen]
You must use at least 3 consecutive words from the lyrics below.

You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said

You are the night-time fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over your start

You're my head
You're my heart

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day

You can choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay

No light, no light
No light

Tell me what you want me to say
Through the crowded islands
Crying out at me
In your place there were a thousand other faces

I will disappear in plain sight
Heaven help me
I need to make it right
You are the revelation
You are to get it right
And it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight

You want a revelation
Some kind of revolution
You are the revelation

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day

Week #009

2011-11-14T02:00:10Z

Sorry that this is so late going up. I just got back from babysitting a little bit ago.

general: vivid colors
This week we would love to see icons that are bright and vibrant in color - you can use as many or as few of these colors as you'd like. Have a single vibrant color in a stark contrast with an otherwise light or dark icon - or fill your icon with a myriad of bright colors. Whatever you decide, as long as at least one color is vibrant, it counts.

lyrical: Super Bass by Nicki Minaj [listen]
You must use at least 3 consecutive words from the lyrics below.

This one is for the boys with the boomin' system
Top down, AC with the coolin' system
When he come up in the club, he be blazin' up
Got stacks on deck like he savin' up

And he ill, he real, he might got a deal
He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build
He cold, he dope, he might sell coke
He always in the air, but he never fly coach

He a muthafuckin trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship
When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
That's the kind of dude I was lookin' for
And yes you'll get slapped if you're lookin' ho

I said, excuse me you're a hell of a guy
I mean my, my, my, my you're like pelican fly
I mean, you're so shy and I'm loving your tie
You're like slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye, oh

Yes I did, yes I did
Somebody please tell him who the eff I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up
Back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass?

He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass
Yeah that's that super bass

Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom, he got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom, yeah that's that super bass

This one is for the boys in the Polos
Entrepreneur niggas in the moguls
He could ball with the crew, he could solo
But I think I like him better when he dolo

And I think I like him better with the fitted cap on
He ain't even gotta try to put the mac on
He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
Then the panties comin' off, off, unh

Excuse me, you're a hell of a guy
You know I really got a thing for American guys
I mean, sigh, sickenin' eyes
I can tell that you're in touch with your feminine side, oh

Yes I did, yes I did
Somebody please tell him who the eff I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up
Back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass?

He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass
Yeah that's that super bass

Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom, he got that super bass

Oh it be like, boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom

general: circles
Did you know that November 2nd is "look for circles day"? No really, Google that if you do not believe me. You seriously can not make this stuff up. AMERICA THINKS CIRCLES ARE AMAZING & WORTHY OF A HOLIDAY SO THEY GAVE IT ONE SO YOU CAN LOOK FOR THEM. I WILL HONOR THIS & CREATE A THEME FOR IT BECAUSE I LOVE ME SOME CIRCLES. Use circles, that's it. Interpret this theme whatever way you want to. You can straight up use a circle in your icon, use a circle pattern, make your text in a circle pattern, etc. I DON'T CARE, GO CRAZY. HONOR THE GREATEST SHAPE OF ALL TIME. ~~TRIANGLES & SQUARES CAN GO SUCK IT. /CIRCLE STAN 4 LIFE.~~ Have fun~
