Illustrator: How To Create Mobile App Icons in Illustrator

via Skillshare

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

Amazing class!!!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Not only does the tutorial explain how to create icons but there's some useful insights into how flat icons are perceived by the industry and their conception, all in a very concise time

In this class we’ll create iOS, Android and Windows phone inspired mobile app icons using Adobe Illustrator.

We’ll  also take a quick look at what flat design is and why we are actually designing things in a simplified and maybe a bit cartoony manner.

We’ll use Adobe Illustrator to design 3 icons :

  • An iOS inspired calendar app icon
  • An Android lollipop inspired camera app icon
  • A Windows Phone Metro UI inspired podcast app icon

Each design will show you the step-by-step process of creating an app icon from scratch. We will start with a blank artboard and, with simple transformations, create beautiful icons.

Even a total Adobe Illustrator newbie shouldn't have problems following along!

So hop on board and let’s get started!
