A Quick Way To Make Customized iPhone Images
The iPhone and its gadget-cousin, the iTouch is Apple's wildly popular portable gadget built to make phoning that next level of cool. The iTouch is the same as the iPhone sans phone, and it works just like it excepting 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 very easy to make your own customized icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop.
The fundamentals
Make 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 are going to need 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 could define 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 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 generally have a subtle background. Just regard 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 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 - a web browser icon, picture viewer, game app. You can use a complex image or simple text to get this across.
Make your symbol design which could 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 ten pixel padding on all sides. Match as close as you can most themes which are generally all centered.
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 will not do compression which is not required excepting 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 .
