Suggestions

Hi guys, I'm running a little short on inspiration for challenges so I would really appreciate any challenge/theme suggestions here! Please try to make the suggestions fairly open so they are applicable to a wide range of screencaps and fandoms (something like 'your favourite character' wouldn't really work with a limited array of screencaps for example). Thank you!

Also remember you can leave suggestions and/or request screencaps at capspiration which will then be used in the challenges here at capicontest. The capspiration suggestions post is here!

sorry if these have been done before; I'm just copying from my notes from when I wanted to start a comm:

tropes from tvtropes.com
transition (like a color gradient, or size gradient, crop, etc.)
seasons(fall/winter/spring/summer)
intensity(color, emotions, scene, etc.)
elements(fire, water, earth, wind, etc.)
rainbow
your favorite food(inspired by, e.g. pizza so triangles/circles, cheesey-colors, pepperoni/peppers/mushroms/whatever toppings colors, etc.)
impressionism
Van Gogh
Da Vinci
renaissance
vintage

I don't know how many of these would be applicable to this particular community, but:

Funny / funny text
Emotional icon
Seasonal / spring
Texture
Glow
Pop Art / Comic
Duality
Blurred / Sharp

I don't know if you could theme around specific tools, like pen tool, brushes, gradient maps.

And this is way out there, but I learned the most from once doing a copycat challenge: find an icon you like, and try to duplicate it as close you can; maybe based only off previous entries / winners.

Thank you for the suggestions! I like the idea of the tools challenge but I think that might be quite limiting for people who have different graphics software that may or may not have specific tools. Also I probably won't do the copycat challenge as I'm not comfortable with rip-offs, however well-intended :/

Well we did it with the original maker's permission, not willy-nilly, but I understand.
