Hello everyone, many people have asked me how do I make those types (which 你 can see in this article) of icons. And I try to tell them but couldn’t explain it at that time. And that’s why I thought that I should write an 文章 about it, I wish it’ll help 你 all to enhance your ability. This is not just a single article. I will 上传 the 秒 part too. In first part I will tell 你 basic and simple steps from which 你 can improve your 图标 (By using Photoshop and 秒 由 using any online editing website) . I decided to do this as when I was uploading 图标 in gallery (of this spot) I saw people were doing same mistake and thought that if I can help 你 guys it’ll be good for 你 guys too and for this spot too. So here I’ll start with.
Size : Size of 图标 does matter, best size for 图标 is (1OO x 1OO)cm 或者 (15O x15O) as in 潮流粉丝俱乐部 profiles our 图标 are shown between these two sizes. Though 你 can extend it to (2OO X 2OO)cm. But 你 extend it 更多 it looks like a fanart rather than an icon. So if 你 want a “perfect” 图标 keep it under size (2OO X 2OO)cm.
Quality : Quality of picture is 秒
most important thing for an icon, as 图标 are small in size so while editing keep in mind to not make the 图标 too bright 或者 blurred.
Effect : I have seen many editing works were people add effect which don’t suit the picture/icon, like there a 图标 of Flora which looks cute and with any 照片 editing website one add 火, 消防 flame effect to it which don’t 《金装律师》 it. Editing (such as that of pixlr express) works for pictures but not for icons. Adding too much glitter make 图标 very famine which is not liked 由 everyone instead try to add little glitter/sparkles.
In photoshop 你 can use soft edge (round) brush and just click where 你 want it to be, not many but little soft glitter can make 图标 look adorable.
Text add another good thing to icons, try to add little and meaningful quote to icon, which takes 图标 to the 下一个 standard.
Good 照片 editing website : Before I had Photoshop 7 I used to use link. It’s one of the best 照片 editing website. I have used Photoshop element 1O before and I can say it’s like PS element very much. It has free brushes, 你 don’t need to download all just add then and save them. Whenever 你 want to make 图标 你 can 上传 those brushes. 你 can learn how to 编辑 with that website as it has a section “Help” and once you’ll learn it’ll be very easy for you. 你 can even ask 问题 there. I can assure 你 that it’s better than Pixlr express and pic monkey. Just try to roam around it and learn it. If I could give it stars out of 5 I would have 给 it 1O/5 XD
While adding text 你 can give effect to texts too , drop shadow effect it good for it as it makes text 更多 realistic.
In 下一个 part I’ll tell 你 about shadow effect, techniques of using brushes, adding yellowish border (blended) and how to blend/merge images. If I couldn’t contain all of these topics in one I would write another 文章 for left ones.
Uploading : While uploading add ( 2OO X 2OO )cm 图标 add them 图标 你 can add them in any category e.t. 粉丝 art 或者 icons. As it can be called 图标 (usually 图标 are of 1OO X1OO but it can be 2OO X 2OO) 或者 a 粉丝 art.
Thanks for 阅读 this, I hope this will help 你 guys. I’ll 上传 下一个 part soon. Please give your review.
