A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Icons
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 just like the iPhone sans phone, and it works just like it except for 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 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're going to need to make the edges 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 outline the theme and it will 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 sure 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 generally have a sophisticated background. Just think of it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you'll still get good results.
Make sure 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 viewer, game app. You may use a complex image or straightforward text to get this across.
Make your symbol design which can 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 close as you can most themes which are generally 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 apart from web images. Reserve it 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.
