    Good day,

    I need a design for a torch/light app for iPhone.
    The name will be "Torch Light HD" or if you can think of something better, mention it.

    We don't need the app or the coding, just a graphic which we can use to put on the design. So just the graphic design please, nothing else. All the details are below, so even if you don't know iPhone or app graphic design, the dimensions and things are below.

    I need the following graphics:

    1. An icon for the app which is 114x114px. You can see how to make the icon and download the template here: http://appicontemplate.com . Any icon to suit the design and style of #2 below.

    2. The actual design of the torch/light app which will display on the screen of the phone. Please create both an On and Off state basically. This is 640x1136px exactly.

    Here are some designs or design aspects I like:

    * http://theindustry.cc/assets/2013/02/img1-750x562.png

    Design ideas/input:

    * Keep it simple and minimalistic.
    * You can create metal, plastic, wood, etc... as you wish.
    * Not necessarily a dark, metal design. Something fresh and colorful, even retro?
    * I like the idea of having a slider (up/down or even left/right) instead of a button.
    * Use your own creativity and don't necessarily follow what others post.
    * Anything unique that you think users will like

    Specifics:

    * The icon is 114px by 114px
    * The app design is 640px by 1136px
    * Photoshop (PSD), Illustrator (AI) only please, I want to slice from PS.

    Rules of this contest:

    * $60 is guaranteed for 1st place.
    * There is no 2nd or 3rd place unless those designs could be used for alternative skins/variations that users can choose from and a lower amount will be awarded accordingly if the designer agrees.
    * I don't have a set deadline but it would be nice to have it done in the next 3 - 4 days maybe?
    * Please don't PM me because it's hard to keep track of all the messages. Just post here, it will make things easier, please.

    I know this is a tough design and there goes much detail and effort into it but if you keep it simple, clean and professional it should be good and wouldn't have to take as much time.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

    Thank you very much for your entries, I look forward to seeing what you submit!

    Thank you for the entry.

    Are the 3 images at the top the icon? Can you try something for the icon other then the actual controls?

    For the interface the on/off switch is probably the main element so itll need to show that?

    Is the knob for brightness? It can probably br just a slider rounded or straight.

    Thank you for your entry.

    Its not a bad start but it needs some refinement and the switch needs some work.

    Do you have icon mockups too?

    Yes, in the top are 3 icon versions :) So you like the ON/OFF button? I will make it bigger and I will change the knob to a slider :)

    Changes can be made.
    Edit:I'll add a led flash light to indicate if the switch is on too[if you wish]
    And a message box like type to indicate the present brightness level too.
    I'm really sorry,I know I should have made a thumbnail of images but I'm busy.

    Thanks it looks quite good.

    The icon is the icon of the app. Like the icon of software on your computer. It gets clicked to open the app if you know what i mean. Google iPhone app icons to see.

    Do you have color variations?

    Can you make a button at the bottom named "Settings"?

    Excellent, thank you.

    Do you have an on off variation of the button and some way to indicate it is on?

    The icon would be great thanks

    You want me to add a settings button too?
    Put on a second version without the regular shine for better preview.
    Changes can be made,this is the on type,the off one you had seen it previously.

    I agree with you and I was aware of it. I've seen these graphics on Dribbble before.

    Do you have a design you want to submit?

    This wouldn't work as we cannot use the Apple logo, it's a violation of their trademark.

    It is okay if you get ideas from Dribbble but cloning those designs is not a good idea. If you can remake them why not put your own personal touch on them to make them unique?
