MathTasks (July 2009)

Well that's a trip. Going through old files, and found this icon from July 21, 2009. I'd played with replacement icons for a couple of years before that, but never done any actual work. I was fourteen; this was the first icon I was paid for. Seven years ago.

For context: free simple app called MathTasks that one would use in middle-school geometry, and high-school algebra. Dictionary of common equations along with plug-ang-play numeric inputs.

There were three 29px icons for an index view, this 57px app icon, and a 512 (I was so new to this that I didn't know I had to fill the entire 512 canvas; it had a drop shadow and transparent space framing it. Oops.) This was on iPhone OS 3, before users could set wallpapers without jailbreaking, and when the 3G S had just been announced.

It was downloaded over 100,000 times within a year of release. No longer on the store, but a good memory. Worked on this with Preston Mueller
