I'm within three squares of a blackout! sigh. I was doing really well with this, until Voiceteam, which devoured my May and added several chunky longterm projects to my list (which didn't need cover art!) and Pod Together. It's really more about me than about the bingo, and the point where I personally fell to pieces under pressure.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. The challenge of fitting cover concept and feeling to the bingo squares made me less lazy, and I lovedlovedLOVED seeing other people's covers! The ones I personally tended to like best were the more concrete ones (detail, Art Nouveau, negative space, asymmetry, the link to the colour palette) rather than the emotional prompts (lonely) or the TOO specific ones ("shoe" remains unfilled, and though I did, finally, have an idea on how - going with Series which will likewise remain conceptual! - it bothered me for the entire bingo!)
Like BabelGhoti, I'd love to see even more art and design theory challenges.
