A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Icons
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's heavily favored mobile device designed to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is rather like the iPhone sans phone, 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 could be all that you need. However , it is very easy to make your own customised icons if you know a bit of Photoshop.
The basics
Create a new document in Photoshop that is 60 pixels by 60 pixels with a clear background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You're going to need to make the sides 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 will outline the theme and it'll stay uniform. Be certain 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 certain 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 typically have a delicate background. Just regard it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you will still get excellent results.
Make sure that your text on top has good contrast to your background, so you might need to darken or lighten your background dependent on what you are counting 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 can use a complicated image or simple text to get this across.
Make your symbol design which could 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 targeted and should have anywhere from 5- to 10 pixel padding on all sides. Match as near as you can most themes which are sometimes all centered.
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 because it will not do compression which is not needed except for web images. Reserve 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 gadget.
