A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Icon Images
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's wildly popular portable gadget engineered to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is just like the iPhone sans phone, and it works just like it except for the telephone 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 customised icons if you know a bit of Photoshop.
The basics
Make a new document in Photoshop that is sixty pixels by sixty pixels with a clear background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You are going to require to make the sides 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 may define the theme and it'll stay uniform. Be sure and put it aside.
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 delicate background. Just think of it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you'll 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 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 complicated 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 targeted.
Make A Template Of Your First Icon
When you save the icon files, you are going to need to put it aside as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog as it will not do compression which is not required excepting web photographs. Reserve it as a PSD or Photoshop file which will 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 device .
