Oh man, that's sad but true. I've been working on a couple of small (hopefully) useful Mac apps myself, but can't draw or anything like that, and this fact has seriously kept me from putting them on the app store altogether.
- plufz 7y agoWhile I feel for you not feeling able to publish, is it really that sad that we like good icons? Isn’t one of the important things about the platform that we have high ui demands?
- paultopia 7y agoI'd argue that UI is different from prettiness of icon. The skill of drawing and the skill of understanding how to make an application easy to use are different.
- Redoubts 7y agoWhile true, this icon has some obvious flaws that could have been fixed with "draw polygon; sides: 3" in any free or premium editor.
- plufz 7y agoWe are affected by aesthetics. Humans like things that look good, use those objects more, find the objects easier to use, has a lower cognitive load on us, etc. Atleast that is the results of the cognitive studies I know of (like those 1990s studies from Hitatchi).
- aracena 7y agoI agree with you, I decided to keep it simple (may be too simple lol) so we could ship as fast as possible but I will work on that in the future, thank you for your feedback!
- elliekelly 7y agoYou can have someone design an icon for you on fiverr for a pretty reasonable price.
- aracena 7y agoGood Idea, I will try that
