Hi PH, I have clicked the big green 'Launch Campaign' button on the Kickstarter for The macOS App Icon Book— The sequel to The iOS App Icon Book. We smashed through the funding goal in 40 minutes (!) and it's still climbing. With 30 days left on the campaign, the goal is now to push towards as big of a print run as we can make it. Why make this book? After the overwhelming success of The iOS App Icon Book it was clear that I hadn't wasted 4 years hallucinating that this would be a worthwhile end
Love this. As someone who just recently designed, built and released my first macOS app, I found the icon design to be extremely fun. I ended up designing like 10+ variations. And it really made me pay attention and study other icons and appreciate the best ones (and notice how the art is getting lost with the cross-platform flattening). This will help preserve the history of the craft. This is something I’d love to have in my library. Nice work.
Love it. Best of luck with the campaign.
