Description
15AUG2012: Android ICS/JB Photoshop GUI Design Kit updated to 3.0!26FEB2012: Android ICS GUI Design Kits updated to 2.0.1!
19JAN2012: Android ICS GUI Design Kit updated to 2.0!
Similar to 1.0, the main motivation of doing this is just to provide some stock elements of Android 4.0+ (Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean) in a single .psd file so app designer can really focus on creating awesome mock up to show their developers/clients. Some of the elements are just single layer of image, but they should be pretty adequate for quick mock up purpose.
In 3.0, I have included two .psd file in the Design Kit – Building Blocks and ADT.
In Building Blocks, it contains most, if not all of the stock ICS/JB UI elements that can be used to build an app mockup in Photoshop. Most of them covered both Holo Light and Holo Dark themes, so you can easily drag and drop the properly grouped UI elements to your app design.
As for the ADT (not to be confused with the Android Development Tools which is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE), it serves as a starting point for the app designers/developers of the app design. You have the choice to select the design template that start with different amount of tabs and holo theme, and the design in Photoshop starts from there.
So what’s inside the new Android ICS/JB Photoshop GUI Design Kit 3.0:

Hey,
Building blocks contains all the necessary building blocks for creating a mockup, while the ADT contains some preset UI template for different configuration (tabs number, no tabs etc.).

Hi, this is great.
I'm just wondering if it is free to use? It would be a perfect resource to use for one of my current projects for the designs. The designs will not be published, only shown to the developer.
Of course I will fully credit you as the original creator.
Thanks

Recently, Google released a guidline for App-Design in ICS.
I would love to have this elements included in a .psd!
BTW.. how about a Tablet version?

Hi,
Sure, I am already working on an updated version of the design kit, it will include most of the stock elements shown in the guideline.
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for me to create a tablet version since I do not have any ICS tablet at the moment. I will see what I can do though.
