Activity #93 - Five is the Limit

[tinny]

I'm not sure how practical this challenge is, but I hope it's at least inspiring. :D

The rule for this challenge is to make icons that have at most five layers (on Photoshop or other layer-based tools) and/or only take you at most five minutes to make.

Challenge yourself to both simplicity and speed! :D

Maybe this could be an opportunity to learn how to make photoshop actions or get some cool gimp plugins?



Some random icons and textures for inspiration:

* Since I have no way to verify this, I'm calling on your honesty: please don't cheat. Only submit icons that took you no more than five minutes to make and/or have no more than five layers. Using actions/scripts to automate and speed up your work is allowed.
* You don't have to limit both time and layers. You can enter icons that took you an hour as long as they only have five layers. Or you can enter an icon with ten layers if you manage to make it in under five minutes. Play around and have fun! <3
* You can make as many icons as you like (if you need a goal, five is a good number :))
* There is no minimum, 1 icon is enough to enter this activity
* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, all in one comment (if possible)
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community

* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting

Deadline: Saturday, May 10 2025, your end-of-day

I love the coloring, text work, and compositions in this set! My favorites are 2, 3, 5, 6, and alt 2!
