A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Images
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's heavily favored mobile device engineered to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is the same as the iPhone sans phone, 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 would like. However , it is very easy to make your own customised icons if you know a bit of Photoshop.
The fundamentals
Make a new document in Photoshop that is 60 pixels by sixty pixels with a clear background. Then create a new layer and Select All. You are going to need 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 may define the theme and it'll stay uniform. Be sure and save 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 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 can still get excellent 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 outline what the icon is being used for. That is, what is it - an internet browser icon, picture spectator, game app. You may use a complicated image or easy 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 generally all focused.
Make A Template Of Your First Icon
When you save the icon files, you are going to want to save it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog because it won' do compression which is not needed except for 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 gadget.
