Full icon tutorial
How to go from this to
in seven simple steps
Step one: Pick out your base image and crop it to 100x100 pixels -
an image with a dark background works best.
I sharpened my image once, but this isn't necessary.
Step Two: I felt that my image was a bit too washed out looking,
so I created a selective coloring layer with these settings:
WHITES: 0 // 0 // 0 // +45
NEUTRALS: 0 // 0 // 0 // +10
Step three: I took this texture by discolore,
inverted the colors, desturated it, and flipped it horizontally to get this.
Take your new texture, paste it on your image and set it to screen.
Step four:I took this texture by graphic_sl ),
flipped it, and pasted it on my image set it to lighten.
I also erased quite a bit of the texture - it was a bit overpowering. ^.^
Step Five: Next, I took this texture (by peoplemachines)
drug it onto my icon and set it to screen.
Step six: Next, I created a some tiny text, pasted in on my image, and set it to lighten.
Step seven: Last step! I wanted my icon to have a bit more contrast,
so I created a final selective coloring layer with these settings:
WHITES: 0 // 0 // 0 // +36
NEUTRALS: 0 // 0 // 0 // +13
And that's it! Thanks for checking out my tutorial!
Feedback is appreciated, and I would LOVE to see what anyone else makes with this!
