A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Pictograms
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's heavily favored portable gizmo engineered to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is just 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 very easy to make your own customized icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop.
The basics
Make a new document in Photoshop that is 60 pixels by sixty pixels with a transparent background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You are going to require 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 will stay uniform. Be certain and put it aside.
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 that 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 usually have a subtle background. Just think of it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you'll 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 depending on what you're counting on putting on top of it. You can now define what the icon is being used for. That is, what is it - an internet browser icon, picture spectator, game app. You can 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 close as you can most themes which are typically all focused.
Make A Template Of Your First Icon
When you save the icon files, you will want to save it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog as it won' do compression which is not needed excepting web images. Save it as a PSD or Photoshop file which will 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 machine.
