A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Pictograms
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's wildly popular portable gizmo engineered to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is just like the iPhone sans telephone, 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 might 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
Create a new document in Photoshop that is 60 pixels by sixty pixels with a transparent background. Then create a new layer and Select All. You're going to want 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 may define the theme and it'll 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 generally have a sophisticated background. Just regard it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you'll still get excellent results.
Make sure that your text on top has good contrast to your background, so you could need to darken or lighten your background dependent on what you plan 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 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 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 excepting web pictures. 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.
