Programmer here, working on an app by myself. I think I’m slowly improving with my images each month, but I’ve never taken a course in graphics design, so there are elements of professionalism that are undoubtedly absent from my work.
Here is what I’ve got so far. It’s for a camera/food app where you can take pictures of culinary creations and share them. My icon is a camera with a cookie instead of a lens. To me, it looks complete, but I’m sure an expert will have some suggestions I can implement. Thank you!
Also, if there’s something I did that’s good, let me know so I can continue doing that.
Answer
This is not much of an icon to me. A good icon should be more graphic; this image relies on illustrated and photographic elements which are not consistent in style.
The camera looks flat, the shadow is too spread-out and not realistic.
“SnackShot” text is too small compared to the whole image. The kerning of the text needs improvement.
I feel the whole thing needs to be redesigned.
Sorry for being harsh but I am just trying to be honest and helpful with my feedback.
