This is my very first tutorial, so feedback is great. I made the icon for this tutorial just today and I loved how it turned out and decided to make a tutorial for it. The tutorial is easy and quick. :)
From
to
using Photoshop 7. (Not sure if it's translatable- it should be.)
1.
Crop your image to 100x100
2.
Duplicate your image and set it to screen. 100% opacity.
3.
Create a new layer and use F06EAA then set it to colourburn with 39% opacity
4.
Create a new layer and then use 1CBBB4 and set it to overlay with 100% opacity
5.
Create another new layer and use 0D004C and set it to exclusion with 100% opacity
6.
Now, go back down to the screened layer and then duplicate it and set it to overlay 100% opacity
and your done! Feel free to add text or anything to your icon, of course. :) I used the font Punch Label (which can be found
HERE) to write STAR on the icon.
