Apple design resources and stunning icon inspiration

It’s that time of year again — we’ve got new versions for iOS, watchOS, iPadOS and now (finally) macOS. And what does that mean? Well if you haven’t been working on it already, it’s time to update those apps, people!

 

Thankfully, things are a little easier this month. Thanks to some new official design resources directly from Apple, and a massive macOS UI Library from our very own Keir Ansell, you’ll have everything you need to get your apps looking great on the new software and hardware.

 

But that’s not all — this month we’ve also given you some incredible icon design inspiration from our amazing Icon Design Challenge, plus some practical tips and tutorials to help you hone your skills even further.

 

See you next month folks!
