February Activity

2014-03-01T18:46:29Z

This month, participants were asked to take a fandom they know little to nothing about, and make icons based on what they think it is about - guided only by icons they've seen of this fandom!

alfiri

1	2	3	4	5

Hannibal: Hannibal is a cannibal (the police can't figure it out even though it even rhymes!), Will Graham is trapped in surrealistic dreams involving stags, and if he isn't, he is a very sad puppy. There are Women Who Deserve So Much Better, and Dana Scully is there to investigate as well!

jsfunction

6	7	8	9	10

11

What I think I know about Hannibal based on icons I've seen: (6) These are the main characters: Hannibal and Wil(?). (7) They have an interesting relationship. A lot of people seem to ship them. I've seen shippy icons of this scene so I assume some interesting interaction is going on here, but I have no idea what :D (8) Hannibal (I think?) likes to talk about 'his design', whatever it is. It seems to refer to Wil for some odd reason. (9) There's a lot of eating. I don't know if this particular meal is of the creepy kind or not but there really seems to be an awful lot of cooking and eating going on :p (10) This Hannibal person likes to sit on a couch. (11) Actually the show is mostly about stags.

(12-17) Teen Wolf: A show about pretty girls running around the woods looking confused. And there's one guy who's always hurt. (18-19) Sherlock: Is about some really smart guy. (20) Pushing Daisies: This show is about a guy who makes pies, and everything is always really colorful. (21) Castle: Some sort of romantic show about a man and a woman. (22) Snow White and the Huntsman: A movie about some evil woman.

Maker activity #006 - Fandom ranking

2013-08-01T20:00:47Z

For the July activity I asked everyone to show what fandoms they're currently into in an ordered list form. The idea was to icon fandoms were currently into, instead of an all-time favorite list.

There were a couple of options - an easy option where you just icon anything from the fandom, and a hard option where the icon had to reflect our main reasons for loving the fandom. I also gave the option of making more than one icon from each fandom for the hard option, and each icon should represent a different reason for loving the show.

Here are our results, and for those who went for the hard option you can hover for our explanations :D

alfiri's list:

1. Harry Potter	2. Game of Thrones	3. Doctor Who	4. The Walking Dead	5. Elementary

jsfunction's list:

1. Lost	2. Supernatural	3. OUAT	4. Defiance	5. Doctor Who

6. Les Misérables	7. BTVS	8. Farscape	9. TBBT	10. Pitch Perfect

vampire_sessah's list:

2. Hannibal:

MAKER ACTIVITY #002 - COLOUR SCHEME BATTLE

2013-03-29T15:01:25Z

Okay, hello!
Our second activity was run by me and the general idea was this one: pick three colours that you consider your "way to go" and make icons with them, then pick three colours you almost never use because you can't/don't like them/no specific reasons and make icons with them. Nothing to fancy, I know, but I think that everyone really pulled a lot of personality into these icons and this gives out what we really like to use as colours and what we really pull of in an amazing way!

Creature Of Habit

+++: Brown/Earth, Green, Teal / ---: Yellow, Purple, Grey

Nerds Love Tough Schoolworks

_{tropes: yellow brick road / old, new, borrowed and blue / red-headed hero / purple is powerful / pink means feminine / lady in red
worthless yellow rock / heavenly blue / fiery redhead / supernatural is purple / cherry blossoms / red right hand}
+++: Yellow, Blue, Orange / ---: Purple, Pink, Red

Mad Scientist

+++: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow / ---: Dark Green, Electric Blue, Red

Cloudcuckoolander

Talkative Loon

+++: Yellow, Red, Black(&White) / ---: Green, Sepia, Darker Blue

Ridiculous Procrastinator

Comments are lovely, if you hover on the title of the maker, you'll know who made the icons!
