PowerPoint template

Presentations play an important role in the academic world. Here are some PowerPoint templates to help you meet your specific needs. 

App icon template

Things to consider during the design process:

1. Scalability

App icons are tiny on the homepage and even tinier in the submenus, so legibility is paramount. Even though some loss of detail is unavoidable, users shouldn’t have to struggle to understand the idea of the app. That’s why we encourage a graphic approach that avoids words.

Sites like Appsparky  allow you to see how your icon will look on different devices.

2. Recognizability. Simplicity is key. Concentrate on a single idea and avoid unnecessary elements.

3. Consistency. An icon should describe your app and show its main feature(s). Allude to the functionality of the app and use the same style and colors as the app itself.

4. Compliance with icon design guidelines. iOS and Android icons may look similar, but there are differences that suggest making variations of your icon for each operating system. That doesn’t mean you should use different icons, though, since that will reduce app recognition.
