Evolutionary

I started “theming” iPhone user interfaces about five years ago. What started out as a quest for a little customization has transformed into a passion of mine. Think of all the time we spend staring at our phones these days. The chance to put a face on, to invoke a feeling, or just crack a grin by skinning an iPhone captured my imagination and I’ve never looked back. I thought it would be interesting to line up most if not all of my themes in chronological order (as best as I can remember) from first to latest and visualize the evolution of one man’s discovery of art. I also included the number of downloads for each theme just for fun. 🙂
