Resource for designer Roku ios icon

Kb — Tue, 14 May 2013 05:56:51 +0000

Recently got a Roku. I’ve been enjoying it but the ios app is not as good as the TV UI.
Figured I could play around with a redesign, starting with the ios icon.

A little something I made to play with lights.
I find designing realistic element really interesting, polishing the lights is hard but rewarding.
Hope this will be useful to you. Let me know if you happen to use them in one of your project.

Resource for designer Twitter App

Kb — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 05:19:33 +0000

It’s been a while since I posted anything but I finally had the time to work on a freebie.
So here’s a Twitter app for iPhone 5. Nothing groundbreaking but I wanted to play with lights, effects as well as with the additional pixel this Phone offers.
Maybe I’ll had some feature to this app in the future if people are interested.
Thanks to Pixeden for the 3D iPhone 5 mock. Make sure to check their website.

Enjoy and don’t hesitate to let me know what you think.

Resource for designer Transparent Ui kit

Kb — Fri, 04 May 2012 06:45:44 +0000

Second freebie release for this week.

You might have noticed that I’ve been pretty obsessed by transparent UI lately after my two posts on Dribbble and the earlier little freebie release.

So I finally wrapped up the final kit and made it available for download.
Now that this is out of my system, I’ll re-focus on something else.

Note 1 : Some icons used here come from the brilliant Moonify UI kit
Note 2 : Initial inspiration from Umar Irshad

Resource for designer Pins app

I’ve been addicted to Pinterest lately.
It inspired me this desktop software. Kind of a mix between Pinterest and Littlesnapper.

If you are wondering who did this awesome wallpaper it’s Lukas Kubla, a 19 years old designer featured on Art-spire.

Make sure to check his portfolio and this good blog. Also check
my pinterest account for links to all the featured work.

Resource for designer Black UI kit

Kb — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 22:26:28 +0000

Here’s a little freebie created after I installed the new Photoshop CS6. I really liked the new black interface and the really good use of the shadings.
It’s also the first time I create a calendar freebie, I think this was missing from my freebie library. Now it’s done.

Hope you’ll enjoy and don’t hesitate to download the Photoshop CS6 Beta,
it kicks ass.

Resource for designer Music iPad app

Kb — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 08:39:40 +0000

Finally, the new freebie is here! And it’s a big one.

I’ve always been a fan of Spotify from the closed beta. I like their service of course and their great design and color scheme. When I bought my iPad, I was wondering if a spotify app already exists, and since it’s still not out, I decided to create this freebie of what the Spotify iPad app could look like.

Of course you can find some flaws in the interface but playing with the Spotify color scheme was nice and you might be able to grab some few things from there.
You can see I used my recent buttons freebie as a base to create the top part of the app. Also the little selector freebie is extracted from previous work on this one.
If I can give one advice, keep everything you do.

So here is my tribute and my first freebie since a while. I hope you’ll enjoy it and if you do, share it!

PS : Be sure to listen to some Bonobo, works well while you design stuff .

Resource for designer Little selector

Kb — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:07:49 +0000

Today’s little freebie is kind of a selector or sliding thing with numbers and scrollbar…
I don’t really know what it is but I figured it was worth sharing as a little interface element when I withdrew it from a bigger project I was working on.

Initially created for an iPad app, I added side arrows and clickable scrollbar at the bottom to make it more web-compliant.

Resource for designer Big player buttons

Kb — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:34:59 +0000

Today’s freebie is a little one: some big player buttons.
Big with a little 3D effect, I think it might fit pretty well in your futur projects.

Maybe I’ll add them in a more complete music player later.

On a not related subject, I’ve recently been added to the designerslist website.
I was following this site for quite long and that’s great to be on it. Make sure to check it out, every blogs and sites listed really worth a click.

[Edit] Since the color scheme of this freebie kept bugging me out I decided to change it for a more lighter one, I think I made a little contrast mistake on the V1. So now while downloading the .zip you’ll get the V1 and the v2. [Edit]

Resource for designer iPad app

Kb — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:03:45 +0000

Big Freebie coming today, an iPad app design! I might be a little late in the game but I bought a magnificent iPad recently so I wanted to play with it since I don’t have the chance to work on a real project for now. Designing for this device is not only challenging but really interesting since it’s quite different than on the web or even than an iPhone app. You can explore new path in interaction or elements design. Also everything you design looks better on a tablet (maybe because we’re used to our regular computer screens since long years or maybe because this device is just cool, don’t know…) and that’s kind of a bonus.

Let’s get back to the freebie. Don’t try to find some sense regarding the app features. As my iPhone freebie, I didn’t really think of what could do this app, it’s just a pack of features and elements that could be useful for your projects or it could work as a base for your future app.

I really wish you’ll have as much fun using this .psd as I had designing it.

Resource for designer iPhone app retina

Kb — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:41:51 +0000

Hey there,

Today’s freebie is directly related to my previous freebie, the iPhone app that I published months ago.
In this freebie, I mentioned that I was planning to release a retina version of this « fake » app. Here it is!

I know maybe it’s a little late but I finally did it and I’m planning to release an iPad version! Since I just bought one I thought it could be a good idea. So maybe in 2 or 3 months… who knows .

I hope you’ll enjoy it.
