Crossing the Animals: New HorizonsThe level of customization extends beyond your character, home, and island. Using your handy Nook Phone, you can use the Custom Designs app to create original patterns and designs that can be used on clothes, floors, wallpapers, and your island flag.
I took it upon myself to show what this app looks like by taking the Kotaku logo, tossing it into Photoshop inside a square template, and reducing the size and resolution to fit the Custom Designs App with its 32 by 32 grid. Those are the features of the "Pro" version of the app that allow you to do detailed detailed design– but not in size.
In Photoshop I then took a shiny logo version and placed a new layer on top, lowered the opacity and painted each square with the correct yellow and white color to get as close as possible to the base grid I was working with. After that I copied correctly using the grid on my Nook phone and saved my new design using the game app.
The Custom Designs app offers an excellent tool such as pencils, fills in all-color painting tools, and stamps that allow you to create an amazing amount of whatever your artistic heart desires.
