Influx: A Surprising Addition to the Flood of Long Shadows

I know what you're thinking. "Not another long shadow icon pack." Well this isn't that. Entirely. What makes Influx different is the love that goes into each pixel. You'll find no scripts or batch operations here. Each shape is in vector format and optimized and aligned to achieve pixel perfection before shining a little light on things. Using a subtle gradient structure and (finally) sticking to a fixed color palette, Influx is slowly proving itself to be my best offering into the world of Android customization.

Android App Icon Template (For Modern Devices) [FREEBIE]

This template was created to make generating Play Store and app icons a breeze. It comes with three styles and multiple configurations to choose from. Designed with modern Android devices in mind it features a Nexus 5 mock up to see your app's new icon in all it's glory.

Update: Now has options for icon backgrounds that conform to Android guidelines.

So, what do I do with it?

Simply download the .PSD file below and open it with Photoshop.

In the layers panel, find the layer that's titled "Artwork" and double click the layer thumbnail.

What opens is a .PSB smart object, go ahead and choose your style and add your logo, artwork, etc.

Close the .PSB window and make sure to save the changes.

Once it saves all of the scaled icons will automatically render along with it.

Cool, now what?

Use the provided action to export the assets.*

*Using CS6? There is a known bug that saves the files as .html files. Simply rename the extensions to .png and you should be fine.

The Future of FlatCons

I'm sure everyone thinks that I have abandoned Flatcons, don't fret because I haven't. As I learn more about automation and batch operations with PhotoShop, I'm going to try to get more updates like this out there. This update, which includes 100 icons, was not done using automation (it still looks bad IMO and I'm still ironing that out). Look for more flatcon updates throughout the week and a new color or two just may join the mix.

Download Version 1.8

Update: Screw batch operations. I'll still make each Flatcon individually.
