A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Pictograms
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's heavily favored portable gizmo designed to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is just like the iPhone sans phone, and it works just like it except for the phonephone portion.When it comes to icons, the iPhone is the best, and the default application icons could be all that you need. However , it is really easy to make your own customised icons if you know a bit of Photoshop.
The fundamentals
Make a new document in Photoshop that is 60 pixels by 60 pixels with a transparent background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You are going to want to make the perimeters 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 may outline the theme and it'll stay uniform. Be certain and reserve 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 certain that 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 usually have a delicate background. Just think of it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you'll still get excellent results.
Ensure 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 plan on putting on top of it. You can now define what the icon is being used for. That is, what is it - a web browser icon, picture spectator, 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 of will work. Your symbol should be targeted and should have anywhere from 5- to 10 pixel padding on all sides. Match as near as you can most themes which are typically all targeted.
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 as it will not do compression which is not needed excepting web photographs. 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 .
