The iTouch is just like the iPhone sans phone, and it works just like it apart from the telephone portion.When it comes to icons, the iPhone is the best, and the default application icons could 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 basics Create a new document in Photoshop that is sixty pixels by 60 pixels with a transparent background. Then create a new layer and Select All. You are going to require 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 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 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 usually have a delicate background. Just think of it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you can still get good 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 viewer, game app. You may use a complicated image or easy text to get this across. Make your symbol design which can 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 focused. 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 except for web photographs. Put it aside 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 . ![]()
