Hi Brianna, it´s not the money, I´m wondering what going on with the project itself? No other round, the first round was closed before I could asigned next illustration and so on. Is´t still alive?
I think it is safe to say that it won't continue in its current format (how Round 1 was conducted). It is too time intensive to be done properly, and having it done poorly would not benefit anyone IMO.
To explain a bit, I consider "done properly" to include * evaluating suggestions ** for worthiness ** for suitability as illustration ** for availability of third party references * finding self-suggestions when needed * conducting moderately thorough check to make sure no free image seems to exist yet * describing the request sufficiently so that an illustrator has enough information to understand what the request is for * reviewing submissions, including ** checking against reliable third party references ** checking for basic SVG features (text as text, good colour contrasts)
So the question of "what next" is a bit up in the air. It's perhaps possible that the scope of the project might be able to shift a bit, although this is not certain. So I would say, if you have some interesting idea about how to conduct a project like this, feel free to the idea forward now.
cheers Brianna
