Tales of a Callsheet Icon

Posted 27 weeks, 4 days ago.

I was listening to Accidental Tech Podcast one day, and my good mate Casey Liss was chatting away about his upcoming app, Flookup. I don’t recall if he’d let anyone know what it was or what it was called at the time, but I was one of the lucky few who got a TestFlight build quite early on.

It was a great little app, even at that early stage, but the icon let a lot to be desired for me. Casey is many things. A great friend. An excellent developer. A half-decent podcaster. But an artist?

An app icon centred over a colourful background. It depicts a red magnifying glass with a depiction of a film slate showing in the lens. The clapper stick is open. The background of the icon is a gradient from blue in the top left corner to purple in the bottom right.

It’s no message bubble with feet, but the concept has hands.

So I found myself opening up Sketch and getting to work. Could I make an icon before the episode was done?

Playing for Fun: Minit

Posted 5 years, 19 weeks ago.

A cartoon illustration of two characters. One dramatically wields a watering can and a sword which emits beams of light, while the other, sporting an eye patch, stands unimpressed with arms crossed. The tagline reads 'Playing for Fun – Just the good stuff.'

Playing for Sword

We never did get a Playing for Fun episode about Minit, but I discovered this commissioned illustration in my archives anyway, so here it is!
