A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Icons
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's wildly popular mobile device built to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is just like the iPhone sans telephone, and it works just like it excepting the phonephone portion.When it comes to icons, the iPhone is the best, and the default application icons might be all that you need. However , it is really easy to make your own customised icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop.
The basics
Make a new document in Photoshop that is sixty pixels by 60 pixels with a clear background. Then create a new layer and Select All. You are going to require to make the edges of your iPhone icon rounded so Select Smooth and make it at five pixels.
Take the graphic and wallpaper the icon which is the back part of the icon. This could outline the theme and it'll stay uniform. Be certain and save it.
Make sure 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 full 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 typically have a sophisticated background. Just regard it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you will still get good results.
Make sure that your text on top has good contrast to your background, so you might need to darken or lighten your background depending on what you are counting on putting on top of it. You can now outline what the icon is being used for. That is, what is it - a browser icon, picture spectator, game app. You can use a complex image or straightforward text to get this across.
Make your symbol design which can be a cutout of a photo or graphic, a mono- or bi-color design - anything you can think of will work. Your symbol should be targeted 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 are going to need to save it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog because it won' do compression which is not needed except for web photographs. Reserve it as a PSD or Photoshop file which should 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 gadget.
