CLIENT WORK

Abstract

The icon was created for a client's CalDAV app that would allow users to sync calendar information from ICS feeds. For the app to be tested and submitted to Google Play, an icon was needed in 48DP and 512X512px sizes. While the iconography trends is to go super flat with hard shadows, I wanted to create a beautiful example of detailed design.
