Notebook entries from January 2010

iPhone App Icon Template

iPhone App Icon Template

Having designed a number of iPhone icons, I’ve spent some time gawking at the array of beautiful ones out there. One of my favorite concepts is to turn the 57x57 icon into a 3d object like a package or a radio, rather than an image inside of a gem casing. I’ve spent some time figuring out the array of techniques needed to design these “object” icons, so I thought it might be helpful to share them.

The Command Guru Project

It’s been a very lazy holiday season for me as I thoroughly enjoyed Christmas through New Years with my family and recharged from a very eventful 2009. I’m finally getting back into the swing of things and wanted to take a second and write about my experience as a member of the Command Guru Project. For those who didn’t hear about it Command Guru is the brainchild of Shado, an Italian TV production company, in which 10 designers and developers set out to create an iPhone app in 7 days. The project took place in Venice, Italy from December 4–10th. The project lead was none other than Aaron Hillegass the famous mac developer, author and owner of Big Nerd Ranch.
