For the layout, I was inspired by this cuneiform inscription. Mine doesn't have nearly as nice a use of negative space, but I did what I could. I also did a version in yellow with gears in the background but ultimately decided simpler was better for the contest.
My favorite entry was "today I fly."
For the "Bohemian Paradise" contest (another one of those very loose, "you'll know it when you see it" kind of themes) I tried to make something reminiscent of the folk embroidery such as on this shirt (also inspired by this).
The entry I thought personally captured the spirit best was this one.
Next up, "moody florals." I did poppies and orchids combined. This is one of those designs where I really liked it as I made it, and then once I uploaded the final design I disliked it instead. Ah well. (The colors are from this cake.)
My favorite entry was the roses, which for some reason I really want to make into a shirtdress.
And finally, for the theme of "maximalism" (which most people interpreted as "busy!"), it fell in one of those weeks where I had almost no time so I slapped together something super quick in one of my favorite color schemes:
My favorites were the halftone squares and this psychedelic abstract.
Out of all these, the "affirmation" one did the best by far - it actually made it into the top half of entries.
