How To Design App Icons with Adobe Illustrator

In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can design your own app icons with Adobe Illustrator. I’ll be going over what the design guidelines are for both iOS and Android, setting up the artboard for app icon design, and then exporting your icon in all of the required sizes and formats.

For sizing info and design principles to follow, make sure to check out the article I've written here: https://logosbynick.com/design-app-icons-with-adobe-illustrator/

Also be sure to check with Apple and Android's developer guidelines to make sure you're abiding by all of their specifications.
