The Process
---------------------
In this video, I use Photoshop to create 3 new app icons for popular brands! This is a whirlwind of painting, shading, and throwing together every texture under the sun. We've got some custom illustrations and a lot of photo editing tricks too!

With the world slowly starting to hate on minimalistic designs, it is a matter of time where realistic stuff like Y2K or Skeumorphism will return back in principle in design. And you have perfectly captured the old and gold days of the old iPhone Icons and aesthetic.
