Free UI icons
Being an avid user of Dribbble I come across my fair share of user interface designs and I noticed recently that the same type of icons tend to be used a lot more than others. With that in mind I decided to put together a new icon set featuring what I consider to be "frequently used" UI icons. The set includes 60 icons available for download in the following formats: PSD, AI, EPS and PNG (16x16, 32x32 and 64x64).
Read MoreMusic discovery app concept
This was an idea that came to me completely out of the blue. It happened as I was browsing the NME and came across one of their weekly blog posts, '10 tracks you have to hear this week', which I have read before and found quite useful for discovering new music. The only problem I've found with these posts is that without writing down the names of the tracks I like or going straight onto Spotify and adding them to one of my playlists it's easy to forget about them. I'm also yet to find a proper archive of these posts, which would come in quite handy.
With that in mind I started to think about how this sort of thing might be done better, which is when I came up with a simple concept for a music discovery / recommendation app for the iPhone.
