These are brilliant! I'm very happy that this challenge could inspire you to make icons! <3 <3 <3

I love your explanations, too. Some of your prompts were really quite hard and I love how you interpreted them. (And, yes, absolutely, how you worked with the tutorial was fine!) My fave icons are 5, 7 (that totally looks like a heart monitor on the poster to me too!), 9, 10, 12, 13, and 17.
