A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Pictograms
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's amazingly popular mobile device designed 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 telephone 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 bit of Photoshop.
The basics
Make a new document in Photoshop that is sixty pixels by 60 pixels with a transparent background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You are going to need 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 may outline the theme and it will stay uniform. Be sure and reserve 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 certain 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 generally have a subtle background. Just consider 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 could 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 complex image or simple text to get this across.
Make your symbol design which can be a cutout of a photograph or graphic, a mono- or bi-color design - anything you can think about will work. Your symbol should be centered 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 centered.
Make A Template Of Your First Icon
When you save the icon files, you are going to want to reserve it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog as it will not do compression which is not required excepting web pictures. Put it aside 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 machine.
