Apple’s new retina display iPad necessitated a change in iOS app development: icons have to be even bigger to account for the high resolution! The new maximum icon size is now 1024 x 1024 pixels, the height of a non-retina iPad screen. When I made the Anthropomotron icons, I didn’t… Read more“Running on the iOS Treadmill”

Anthropomotron for the iPad
Driven by Apple’s rejection of the Anthropomotron app, I looked into making it more iPad-y (iPaddy?).

The Making of an Icon, Part 2
After I made the iOS icon, I thought that making an Android version of Anthropomotron would be a good idea as well. Coverting the code to work on Android was relatively painless.

I’m starting with these photos from the Parque de las Leyendas because they’re cool, and I’m still experimenting with… Read more“I’m Trying to Make My Photos More Visible”
