Tutorial #3
Do you want to know how to make this icon?:
Okay, so here's another tutorial to make the icon shown above. This was made using Photoshop CS.
I started off with this image:
I cropped it the way I wanted to.
I then proceeded to duplicate the layer, and set it to scren & 59%. Then I duplicated it again and set that to soft light at 35%.
This is what your layer pallete should look like:
And this is how your icon should now look:
I then added this gradient on top:
and set it to Lighten at 82%.
After that, I added this brush (shown on black because it's originally white):
And I set it at Normal on 72%.
I added this gradient:
Set at Lighten on 100%.
On top of that, I added this gradient:
Set on Soft Light at 65%.
I then merged all those layers, an duplicated it set on Soft Light at 15%.
You should now have this:
I then added a light texture (shown on black for colour):
I set that at Lighten on 92%.
On top of that, I added another small light brush:
That was set at Normal on 86%.
I added a bit of small text in white as decoration (it's mostly just random words):
Then I added the real text, (the font used is Futurist):
Finally, I added a small white bar (set at normal 69%) and a white bar on the bottom (normal, 100%):
It's done!
You should now have something similar to this:
