A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Pictograms
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's heavily favored portable gadget built to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is rather like the iPhone sans telephone, and it works just like it apart from the telephone portion.When it comes to icons, the iPhone is the best, and the default application icons could be all that you want. However , it is really easy to make your own customised icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop.
The fundamentals
Make 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 are going to need to make the edges 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 may define 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 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 delicate background. Just think of it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you will still get good 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 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 browser icon, picture spectator, game app. You may use a complex image or straightforward 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 of will work. Your symbol should be centered and should have anywhere from 5- to 10 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 are going to want to reserve it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog because it won' do compression which is not required excepting web pictures. 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.
