I hurt from losing her. Still.

I love the new look of Google Reader. I don’t understand how people don’t use it more.
Project: Application Colorization
I thought it would be fun to color coordinate the application icons on my new iPhone 4S prior to an iTunes sync that would port over hundred of apps. I got the 32gb 4S because I was out of room on my old 16gb 3GS, and because of Siri, and because of the camera, etc. I now leave my old iPhone on my coffee table and tell everyone it is my 3.5″ iPad.
I started with the white and grey colored app icons on page one.
Here are the screen shots:
I then made a page for tans and yellows.
Next a page for mostly green icons.
The page for blue colored app icons is the largest. There was a nice infographic in Mashable that broke down the colors of many web company logo’s and blue was dominant.
Lastly. a page for red.
As you can see, I left the iTunes app all by itself on the bottom showcase because he had no purple friends to hang with. I’m not sure how functional this will be in use. I was timid to move the location of the phone icon, but maybe this will make me use Siri more, even though she seems to not be able to do some key things. I’d love for Siri to be able to simply ‘close all the apps running in the background’, instead of me having to do it, but alas, she cannot.
This was a fun project to do and share, but app organizing on the iPhone itself leaves something to be desired. Pulling around shaky icons, dragging and dropping them from page to page is not the most fun. Even organizing apps within iTunes is a pain. There should be an easier way to do this. Perhaps an application could scan the application’s icon and assign them a overall color (like photomosaics software) and then organize them accordingly. Maybe I will get with @gedeon at Iconfactory and pitch this idea.
Enjoy!
