Adobe #IconContestXD: Meet the winners
We challenged our creative community members to create an app prototype using one of our three exclusive Adobe XD icon kits designed by legendary creatives Anton & Irene, Büro Destruct, and Lance Wyman the prototypes showcased the best of the world’s creative cities. The prototypes had to showcase those secret inspirational spots that are hidden in cities all over the world, and the results are overwhelmingly impressive, not only for their design and user experience level, but also for the amazing creative spots you will want to visit on your next trip.
The competition is now closed, and the winners are in, but fear not: you can still download the kits for free here.
