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! |
