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 might be all that you need. However , it is really easy to make your own customised 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 make a new layer and Select All. You're going to require to make the sides 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 outline the theme and it will stay uniform. Be sure and reserve 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 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 typically have a subtle background. Just consider 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 plan on putting on top of it. You can now define 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 photo or graphic, a mono- or bi-color design - anything you can think of will work. Your symbol should be focused 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 targeted. Make A Template Of Your First Icon When you save the icon files, you will want to reserve it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog because it won' do compression which is not required excepting web pictures. 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 gadget. ![]()
