Icons and UI elements

Need affordable image elements for your application, widget, or web page? contact me.

This is a collection of Mac OS X icons and interface elements I've designed. Due to the .png transparencies of the icons, this page will not display correctly in Internet Explorer 6 or lower for Windows, please consider switching to a standards-compliant browser like FireFox. The icons are stored in iContainer format and can be viewed with Candy Bar.

 

My current position at Wayport Inc has involved a lot of graphical retooling of the Wayport Welcome Page to match the aesthetic of partner's properties and to conform to various devices, notably the iPhone.

 

C86 -My first Leopard-sized icon, for Buzz Andersen's C86 playlist handler.

Fence - I just made an application icon for Nick Gerakines' Atom API uploader Fence. It's great for interacting with your Typepad or Vox blog from your desktop.

Aster - These are a couple of desktop pictures and a complimentary icon I made from a set of images I've been working on. Download the set here.

 

Reel 2 Reel - These are icons made from photographs of miniature reel-to-reel tape machines from this German site. The only notable one here is the "Sabine" icon, which has an additional open/drop state icon. (use it on a folder and then try dropping something on it) Download the iContainer of these icons here

Cassette Tapes - Here's a few casette tape icons that were made from the archive of photos at Project C-90, a Russian photo-archive of cassette tapes. These aren't anything spectacular, but I am kind of happy with the Sony tape (the body is slightly translucent, just like the real tape would be). Download the iContainer of them here.

 

Sound Toys- These are a few icons I made using images from http://www.miniorgan.com/, a great library of musical toys from the 70's and 80's. You can use .png versions (Pixadex will export them) as custom track icons in Logic 7 . You can download these as a Pixadex iContainer here.
You can also find some great vintage synthesizer icons at http://www.audio-movements.com/.

Tom over at MusicThing liked these icons enough that he asked me if I would make a new graphic for his blog. Here are my two favorites of the ones I made. (I should probably mention that neither of the designs have been implemented)

Aspyr Icons- I had to learn how to make application icons quickly, and without a lot of help. The dawn of OS X meant that Aspyr's ports of Windows games needed more than their original Windows icons. Some of these were a little rough, but I was very happy with the Medal of Honor: Spearhead icons in particular. I made the favicon for their website as well.

Cuddly pals- Here a a couple of, uh.. lovable characters I sketched out. You can download all three of them as a Pixadex iContainer.

Bearz - I made a couple of OS X screensavers featuring my anglerbear character. You can download them from my file sharing page.

 

Steve Jackson Games 16x16 pixel icons- These are some tiny pixel icons I drew for a Steve Jackson Games application. It's really hard to try and get across a concept like "Superstructure" in a 16x16 pixel square.
