Cover artist bingo 2020 August challenge: Cards, bingo in review and feedback

[annapods]

Since July's challenge was late, here’s something a little different for the last week of this bingo:
Tell us how it went! Did you achieve your goals? What did you learn? What was fun, what wasn’t? How’s your card looking? And most importantly, what would you suggest for next year’s round?

For the feedback part, you can also pm/email/discuss on twitter or discord/whatever else, whatever is more comfortable for you.
If you have no idea what to say, here are a few points that might need changing before next year:
- schedule (timing, length)
- challenges (why they flopped, whether to keep or to do away with, if the first what to change)
- prompts (any specific fun or unfun ones, balance between the categories, new ideas)

Once you’ve done that, you’ll have earned a special cheat that you can use to fill one (any) of your squares.

Ooh, I just thought of something!

There were two (maybe three?) prompts that were just a URL. I think one was a movie poster and the other was an AO3 work? I didn't really understand what we were supposed to do with them. If you include prompts like that next time, maybe a brief explanation in the prompt list would help. (I say "in the prompt list" so as not to make the version in the card too long.)

That's a good point! To me it seemed obvious that the answer was "anything", as in, inspiration from the composition, the color palette, reusing elements, fonts, whatever, but that's not a common type of prompt so I totally get why you were confused.
Would a FAQ post, or pointing people to the comments section as a place to ask questions, help?
