Layar circular info widgets (CIW) Photoshop template

If you have been playing around with Augmented Reality applications, then you have certainly come across Layar.

I enjoy playing around with different APIs, and the Layar API gives you basic control over the colors and icons in your layer. I checked out the Custom circular info widgets documentation to figure out the best way to handle the CIWs. Layar has some nice best practices listed, but sadly, there was no Photoshop template to speed things along.

I decided to make a Layar custom info widget Photoshop template (zipped .PSD) for myself, and am posting it in case anyone else might find it helpful.

Within the file, guidelines are at the 55×55, 38×38 and 28×28 sizes. The squares are the recommended sizes from the documentation for the inner, middle and outer ring sizes. Note: you will have to zoom pretty far in to see the boxes properly, but you were probably going to do that anyway…

I hope this helps someone out. I always like having a comprehensive template to stay somewhat organized.
