Challenge
Design an app icon. What best represents the brand or product? Or is it incredibly unique? Does it look great at a distance and does it stand out when put on your home screen alongside other apps?
Time Limit
< 2 hrs
Personal Goals
- iOS app icon
- Mobile game
Key Takeaways
Ok, so I might have cheated here, because this is an app icon I designed years ago that I recall doing quickly, so it may or may not have been under the 2 hour time limit, but pretty darn close. Because I designed, developed, and launched this app in less than 1 week working on it only after hours and over the weekend, and most of that time was spent on the code itself. (And, let’s face it, the iOS build process, because that was quite the time suck trying to troubleshoot)
This is from an iOS mobile app game that I designed and developed for fun while learning the Swift programming language in 2019. I published it live on the app store where it lived until my annual Apple Developer subscription expired and I couldn’t justify paying for another year for just a pet project. I still have the code though if I ever need to resurface that for a challenge ;o)
