[Closed]-50 Dollars for App Icon

Monday, January 21, 2013 - 21:50

Hey guys my names Jimmy Bouker, I was pretty active on here last semester with Particle Boy, heres a link to the progress thread. So far I have spent $450 dollars on art for the app and I've been very happy with the results. Unfortunatley my artist was recently injured and is unable to work at the moment, so thats why I need your help!

Link for Particle Boy Commission

I recently made an iOS app called Prank Reel:

"Have someone take a picture of you or a group of people. As there trying to take the picture funny photos you upload will appear over the camera. Every second the front facing camera snaps a photo of their reaction. The 'Prank Reel' can then be edited, saved, and shared to Facebook and/or Twitter"

I have finished the programming of the app and now I am just waiting on an app icon.

Heres what I need.

An app icon of three sizes, but the same image, 57x57, 117x117, and 1024x1024 saved as a .png file.

Heres my idea of the app icon

Basically thats how the Prank Reel looks, the app creates a Prank Reel with the funny photos on the left, and the right side of the is the reactions of the person being pranked. I'd like to keep the white borders because that is how the app seperates the photos.

I was thinking smiley faces and black background but you can do what ever you want as long as it is funny photos left, reactions on right!

Anyway if your interested I'd like you to reply to this post with your photo or email it to me, whoevers photo I choose will be payed $50! And of course you will be credited within the app and on the app description page as the artist :D

I'm loking forward to seeing your work, and again. I want to release this app SOON! Because it's finished baby :D

Thanks again!

if your intersted in seeing some of the Prank Reels generated by the app.

You can find them on Twitter under #PrankReel
NOTE: Most the tweets by me were tests from within the app itself when I started implementing Twitter into the app. And again the app isn't out yet, it will be once an app icon is made though!

If this is still available, I'd like to have a crack at it. You can contact me via the contact form in my profile, and hopefully I could get a sample/mockup together sometime tomorrow.

Hi,

As you contacted me, I am answering here. I'd just like to give you an advice. As you can see on my profile page, I am a huge fan of SVG format. Because: 1. it is clearly well-designed for sharing stuff (and borrowing), 2. even non artist can do pretty things.

So, my advice is: just use Inkscape. You can do cool stuff on your own.

For example, for your app icon, I looked for smiley faces on OGA and wikimedia commons. I found this ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smiley_green_alien.svg ). It's SVG and CC0. That's great ! I chose 4 of them and just arranged them with Inkscape.

I did this in less than 5 minutes (as it is not my native language, write this comment in english took me more time). It can be improved, but for my mere example, I guess it is fine.

As it is SVG you can publish any resolutions you want. Here is a 117x117 bitmap export (what a weird resolution ?!?).
