An App Icon is the initial point of contact between users and applications, and it contributes significantly to first impressions. It has to be a distinctive and memorable graphical representation that serves as the visual identity for an app or a game.
In this session will be covered both technicalities about the design, export and correct displaying and loading of your App Icon based on the Apple platform you are developing for.
Also, the creative process takes a crucial role in elevating your App Icon aesthetics and functionality: learn key aspects to take in consideration when you design it.
A well-designed app icon goes beyond mere aesthetics; it aids users in quickly locating and identifying the app while also playing a crucial role in the competitive app marketplace, where standing out is key.
I'm part of the imaginary institute team and co-facilitate the learning experience of the Apple Developer Academy in Naples as Junior Mentor Design.
I graduated in Communication Design and since then I have been working with Product Design and creating interactive experiences for different Apple Platforms and websites, for almost 5 years.
Pixel perfect layouts and iterative processes are my passion, and in the past year I have been exploring the domain of App Icons for Apple Platforms, in particular visionOS and vector-based App Icons.
