Small icons
I mentioned on Core Intuition episode 11 that I've been having fun making small icons for my new app. Here are a few partial screenshots:
Some of these are just pixel-by-pixel drawings, with slight gradients in places. For other parts of the user interface I used vectors in Photoshop, which gives a nice anti-aliased look that is important for some types of shapes, but for really small icons and widgets it's pretty satisfying to just poke at things fat bits style.
Gus Mueller pointed out that I should be using PDFs or drawing them in code to be ready for resolution independence. He's right of course. Maybe Apple will announce a device at Macworld that will make that task seem more practical.
