A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Icons
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 rather like the iPhone sans telephone, and it works just like it excepting 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 very easy to make your own customised icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop.
The fundamentals
Create a new document in Photoshop that is 60 pixels by sixty pixels with a clear background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You're going to want to make the sides 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 will outline the theme and it will stay uniform. Be sure 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 whole 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 sophisticated background. Just regard 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 dependent 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 - a browser icon, picture viewer, game app. You can use a complicated image or easy 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 of 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 sometimes all centered.
Make A Template Of Your First Icon
When you save the icon files, you are going to need to reserve 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. Save it 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 gadget.
