Creating The Stunning Icon For Times

Sticking to a subject we been talking about a lot this past week, is Dustin MacDonald’s stunning new RSS reader Times.

Mikio Inose, the designer Dustin employed to design and create the application icon, today posted a few images on Flickr showcasing the full process of designing the icon from start to finish. In addition to the computer based mockups, Mikio also uploaded images of the initial sketches and an array of different concepts.

This is well worth checking out if you’re interested in seeing what goes into creating an application icon as stunning as the 512×512 one used for Times. View the Flickr photoset here.

    Wow, I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who likes to draw things out very intricately beforehand. I think most people just do very rough sketches by hand but tend to rely on the computer for most of the detail.

    Anyway, this icon is amazing and I’m really loving the software!
