Resource for designer Transparent Ui kit

Kb — Fri, 04 May 2012 06:45:44 +0000

Second freebie release for this week.

You might have noticed that I’ve been pretty obsessed by transparent UI lately after my two posts on Dribbble and the earlier little freebie release.

So I finally wrapped up the final kit and made it available for download.
Now that this is out of my system, I’ll re-focus on something else.

Note 1 : Some icons used here come from the brilliant Moonify UI kit
Note 2 : Initial inspiration from Umar Irshad

Here’s a little something from the future UI kit I’m going to create around it.

Hope you’ll enjoy this little .psd.

Resource for designer Pins app

I’ve been addicted to Pinterest lately.
It inspired me this desktop software. Kind of a mix between Pinterest and Littlesnapper.

If you are wondering who did this awesome wallpaper it’s Lukas Kubla, a 19 years old designer featured on Art-spire.

Make sure to check his portfolio and this good blog. Also check
my pinterest account for links to all the featured work.

Resource for designer Black UI kit

Kb — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 22:26:28 +0000

Here’s a little freebie created after I installed the new Photoshop CS6. I really liked the new black interface and the really good use of the shadings.
It’s also the first time I create a calendar freebie, I think this was missing from my freebie library. Now it’s done.

Hope you’ll enjoy and don’t hesitate to download the Photoshop CS6 Beta,
it kicks ass.

Resource for designer Music iPad app

Kb — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 08:39:40 +0000

Finally, the new freebie is here! And it’s a big one.

I’ve always been a fan of Spotify from the closed beta. I like their service of course and their great design and color scheme. When I bought my iPad, I was wondering if a spotify app already exists, and since it’s still not out, I decided to create this freebie of what the Spotify iPad app could look like.

Of course you can find some flaws in the interface but playing with the Spotify color scheme was nice and you might be able to grab some few things from there.
You can see I used my recent buttons freebie as a base to create the top part of the app. Also the little selector freebie is extracted from previous work on this one.
If I can give one advice, keep everything you do.

So here is my tribute and my first freebie since a while. I hope you’ll enjoy it and if you do, share it!

PS : Be sure to listen to some Bonobo, works well while you design stuff .

Resource for designer Little selector

Kb — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:07:49 +0000

Today’s little freebie is kind of a selector or sliding thing with numbers and scrollbar…
I don’t really know what it is but I figured it was worth sharing as a little interface element when I withdrew it from a bigger project I was working on.

Initially created for an iPad app, I added side arrows and clickable scrollbar at the bottom to make it more web-compliant.

Resource for designer Big player buttons

Kb — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:34:59 +0000

Today’s freebie is a little one: some big player buttons.
Big with a little 3D effect, I think it might fit pretty well in your futur projects.

Maybe I’ll add them in a more complete music player later.

On a not related subject, I’ve recently been added to the designerslist website.
I was following this site for quite long and that’s great to be on it. Make sure to check it out, every blogs and sites listed really worth a click.

[Edit] Since the color scheme of this freebie kept bugging me out I decided to change it for a more lighter one, I think I made a little contrast mistake on the V1. So now while downloading the .zip you’ll get the V1 and the v2. [Edit]

Resource for designer iPad app

Kb — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:03:45 +0000

Big Freebie coming today, an iPad app design! I might be a little late in the game but I bought a magnificent iPad recently so I wanted to play with it since I don’t have the chance to work on a real project for now. Designing for this device is not only challenging but really interesting since it’s quite different than on the web or even than an iPhone app. You can explore new path in interaction or elements design. Also everything you design looks better on a tablet (maybe because we’re used to our regular computer screens since long years or maybe because this device is just cool, don’t know…) and that’s kind of a bonus.

Let’s get back to the freebie. Don’t try to find some sense regarding the app features. As my iPhone freebie, I didn’t really think of what could do this app, it’s just a pack of features and elements that could be useful for your projects or it could work as a base for your future app.

I really wish you’ll have as much fun using this .psd as I had designing it.

Resource for designer iPhone app retina

Kb — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:41:51 +0000

Hey there,

Today’s freebie is directly related to my previous freebie, the iPhone app that I published months ago.
In this freebie, I mentioned that I was planning to release a retina version of this « fake » app. Here it is!

I know maybe it’s a little late but I finally did it and I’m planning to release an iPad version! Since I just bought one I thought it could be a good idea. So maybe in 2 or 3 months… who knows .

I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Resource for designer Waiting page

Kb — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:04:28 +0000

Today is a little resource I just made. I was wanted to try something around a waiting page design. Probably not the best of my freebies but you might find it interesting if you spend too much time on your project to make a waiting page for it.

On another subject, I’ll probably give away a Dribbble invite in a very close future. Make sure you don’t miss it :) .

Resource for designer Cloudy Ui kit

Kb — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:57:03 +0000

I don’t know why but lately I’m in the mood for creating some buttons and stuff. When I think of it sometimes, isn’t it weird that some people (like me) found pleasure in designing some little squares for the user to click on it? I mean, seeing a button and say « oh my god this button is so damn sexy » must hide some kind of deeper problems ^^.

So for us guys and girls who are turned on by some juicy buttons, here is my latest freebie, a new UI kit!
If you often read this blog, I published another black UI kit and wrote that I were planning on releasing a white version of it. Well, it not really is, let’s say it’s more a new one inspired by the old one.

Talking about inspiration you might recognize in this UI some elements from others. My inspiration for it came from this awesome ui kit « Moonify » and also from the work of Orman Clark.

As usual, I hope you’ll enjoy it and that you’ll make some great design with it.

Resource for designer Audio player

Kb — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 18:19:01 +0000

Hey everyone. It seems like the internet don’t want me lately. One week without it… and I don’t know if this short time of connection will last…

Anyway you’re not here to listen to me whining about my (web)life but for freebies right ?! So here it is, since I was bored at home I passed a little more time than the usual to make this freebie : An audio player (and my first one, lots of first lately…)!

The design of this freebie is based on a previous freebie I made, the video player.
The awesome wooden background I used came from Matthew Skiles. This resource is used a lot actually, I needed to try it on my own design^^.

I also create this exclusive freebie for the guys at creativefan.com, take a look at their blog if you have the time.

As usual, I hope you’ll find it useful. And if one of you wants to code it, share the link!

Last thing you should definitely check out this amazing group : Berry Weight.
