Windows Phone 7 Iconography

  • Artikel

I don’t know about you but I find creating the various application and marketplace icons a bit of a chore. Perhaps because I’m not very gifted artistically or perhaps it’s just because there are quite a few things to remember.

I've created a set of templates to make life just a little easier and thought others might find them useful.

iconography

All the templates are Paint.NET files with separate layers for background / foreground and a “guidance” layer with some pointers. You can add more layers as required of course.

Hopefully they’ll come in handy – download the zip file below.

    Why not just create the icon in 200x200, save it, shrink it to 173x173 save it, shrink it to 99x99 save it, etc?  Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, though I use Photoshop instead of Paint.Net since it handles the images better in my opinion.
