Working on a whole bunch of colorful icons for the fabulis iPhone app. I'm creating them all in Illustrator and place them as Smart Objects in Photoshop. So far I have only done the main category/type ones but I have to do a ton of sub category/type ones.
Just in case you wonder, all the layers of my app screen designs that contain graphics are all either shape layers or Illustrator Smart Objects. This way my design can be easily scaled to a bigger size without quality loss. Just trying to keep things as flexible as possible.
Waho... so much details !
This little chair icon is so cute :)
I have realized only few weeks ago (what a shame...) that the The vector shapes are absolutely essential for working without risk of quality loss after any modification.
Now I try to always use this tool and I wonder why I didn't realize this many years ago.
Very nice Veerle, I've always wanted to dabble with iconography, the project has yet to present its self, however when I do get the chance, you'll be categorised as inspiration. :)
Those are gorgeous icons, and I know that's primarily what this shot is about, but I think the text takes a decidedly back seat to the icons. Maybe deepening the grey a touch would help the text pop out for the user more?
As usual I love the color palette, warm & fresh at the same time. I'm not sure about the dot grid to continue over the buttons, looks to me as a gaze over the entire screen. Maybe embossing them a bit, or a lighter shade above the buttons?

This is lovely, Veerle. Don't know the entire context, but I'd maybe remove the "choose type" heading myself, it may not be necessary.

They're very nice and crisp but the poor fellow don't stand a chance against that background.

An amazing eye for detail you have, Veerle. The colors, the background, the icons, etc. are so beautiful done. Again, an amazing work done by you.

I agree with Philip the icons are stunning, the text colour is a little wishy washy.
