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 might 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 basics Create a new document in Photoshop that is sixty pixels by 60 pixels with a clear background. Then create a new layer and Select All. You are going to require 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 will define the theme and it'll stay uniform. Be certain 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 the full 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 subtle background. Just regard it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you will 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 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 viewer, game app. You may use a complex image or easy text to get this across. Make your symbol design which could 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 10 pixel padding on all sides. Match as near 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 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 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 machine.
