Apply Pixels

Hey everybody, this has been a long time coming but I'm excited to announce that I'm launching a new platform for design resources. It's called applypixels.com and I want you there!

👀 Read why I think you should join us

Apply Pixels is a new type of sustainable design resource with the singular goal of empowering designers and people interested in design. On the site you'll find downloadable and evolving templates and UI kits, video tutorials and articles that will help power your design process.

Every single template that you might know from appicontemplate.com have been updated with fixes and improvements since you last downloaded them and detailed video tutorials have been made for each template. In short; the templates you know have become better and easier to use and have also been joined by a few new ones. The idea is that we'll grow the collection with a new template every month while existing tools are kept up-to-date.

Access to these and future templates will require you to become a subscribing member at applypixels.com. Membership is a low monthly fee and you can cancel any time. By becoming a member, you’re not only securing access to these high quality time-saving resources, you’re helping us build a growing platform for design tools.

As appicontemplate.com have crossed its 1 millionth download (!) it is time to move on to something bigger and more ambitious. Moving from a free donate-based resource to a subscription-based platform isn't something I'm doing lightly. The App Icon template project has been a tremendous ride for me and I've enjoyed maintaining it all these years. But if we are to grow beyond it, we need to turn it into a sustainable business. Revenue will help cover the cost of developing new resources, updating existing ones, making video tutorials and writing articles. I have personally seen how big of a difference the right tools can make and I think there's a lot we can do to make design as a whole more approachable.

I hope you'll take a look and consider joining me.
