The iTouch is rather like the iPhone sans phone, and it works just like it apart from 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 really easy to make your own customized icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop. The fundamentals Create a new document in Photoshop that is sixty pixels by sixty pixels with a transparent background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You're going to need to make the perimeters 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 define 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 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 regard it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you can 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 are counting on putting on top of it. You can now outline what the icon is being used for. That is, what is it - a web browser icon, picture spectator, game app. You can use a complex image or easy text to get this across. Make your symbol design which can be a cutout of a photo or graphic, a mono- or bi-color design - anything you can think about will work. Your symbol should be focused and should have anywhere from 5- to ten 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 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 apart from web photographs. Reserve 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. ![]()
