A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Pictograms
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's amazingly popular portable gadget engineered to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is just like the iPhone sans telephone, 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 could be all that you need. However , it is very easy to make your own customized icons if you know a bit of Photoshop.
The basics
Create a new document in Photoshop that is 60 pixels by sixty pixels with a transparent background. Then make 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 5 pixels.
Take the graphic and wallpaper the icon which is the back part of the icon. This will define the theme and it will stay uniform. Be sure 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 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'll still get good results.
Ensure 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're counting 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 easy 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 of will work. Your symbol should be centered and should have anywhere from 5- to 10 pixel padding on all sides. Match as near as you can most themes which are sometimes all focused.
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 needed except for web photographs. 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.
