DailyUi 005, App Icon

#DailyUI 005 First of all, let me just say that I genuinely look forward to these daily challenges. Such a blast to dive into this on a daily basis and see what explodes from my mind. For this challenge, I was to 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?” I had a few vastly different ideas, but the one I decided to run with (pun intended, keep reading) was an icon for a game that I’ve envisioned for some time, an atmospheric side-scrolling action adventure platformer wherein the character changes from human to werewolf and back throughout the game, altering the goal and outcome based on the player’s present state of transformation… I chose to approach this challenge from the perspective of a designer responding to the needs of the client, presenting a design to the stakeholder that accurately represents the given product while also displaying clearly and cohesively among the other apps on the device or operating system (in this case, iOS). Without further ado, here’s my daily submission. #ux #ui #vector #digitalillustration #sidescrolling #game #ios
