Create an iOS Camera App Icon using Affinity Designer - 03 - Creating the Lens

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz and I work as a Product Designer at Dribbble. For fun, I design, code, and write. Check out my blog called Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com where I publish design and development tutorials with the occasional vlog.

====================

PART 3 OF 5

This lesson sparks the beginning of the lens portion of our app icon. The lens itself will feature many circles with dark and subtle gradients which mimic shadows and light from the top right of our icon document.

The idea here is to establish the base of the lens. In the next lesson we'll add a few more effects to enhance the "realness" of the lens.

This 5 part series will teach you my process for creating a custom iOS app icon from scratch.

Note: This content was the result of a recent app I created called Affinicasts. Unfortunately, I discontinued the app to pursue other endeavors. This video and more was premium content on the app. I hope you'll enjoy it here on my channel now for free.
