A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Images
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's wildly popular portable gadget built to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is rather like the iPhone sans telephone, and it works just like it apart from the phonephone portion.When it comes to icons, the iPhone is the best, and the default application icons could be all that you would like. However , it is really easy to make your own customised icons if you know a bit of Photoshop.
The fundamentals
Create a new document in Photoshop that is sixty pixels by sixty pixels with a clear background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You're going to require to make the perimeters of your iPhone icon rounded so Select Smooth and make it at 5 pixels.
Take the graphic and wallpaper the icon which is the back part of the icon. This could define the theme and it will stay uniform. Be sure and save it.
Ensure that your layer is selected by Ctrl+Click on the layer preview thumbnail on the layers palette. Make the background of your icon. Be sure the entire area is selected. Make a three-color gradient for best effect with the lighter side on one. Make it a Linear gradient because if you look at iPhone icons, they generally have a sophisticated background. Just think of it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you will still get wonderful results.
Ensure that your text on top has good contrast to your background, so you may need to darken or lighten your background dependent on what you're counting on putting on top of it. You can now outline what the icon is being used for. That is, what is it - an internet browser icon, picture viewer, game app. You may use a complicated image or simple text to get this across.
Make your symbol design which could be a cutout of a photo or graphic, a mono- or bi-color design - anything you can think about will work. Your symbol should be focused and should have anywhere from 5- to ten pixel padding on all sides. Match as near as you can most themes which are generally all centered.
Make A Template Of Your First Icon
When you save the icon files, you will want to reserve it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog as it will not do compression which is not needed apart from web pictures. Put it aside as a PSD or Photoshop file which may be your template for making future icons. You can now upload the PNG file to your iPhone/iTouch and have your first unique icon for your device .
