This step is similar to STEP 5 and STEP 6.ĭon’t forget to darken Layer 3 by adjusting the Curves setting (ctrl+m). Select the shape (alt + enter) then copy Layer 2 (ctrl+c then ctrl+v) onto Layer 3. Draw the 3rd shapeĬreate a new layer and use the Rounded Rectangle Tool and Ellipse Tool to make 2 new shapes (see below). Again, double click Layer 2 in the Layer Palette to get to Layer Style settings. Moving onto Layer 2, we are going to turn on Inner Glow. Add more depth with the Brush ToolĪdd depth to Layer 1 by shading darker colors with the “Brush” Tool (b). I only selected the Inner Shadow and Inner Glow settings. Add depth using the Layer Style settingsĭouble click Layer 1 in the Layer Palette, then set the Layer Style settings like below. Use the Curves setting (ctrl+m) to make Layer 1 darker than the other. So now we have two layers with wooden texture but in different heights. Select the shape (alt + enter), then copy the first layer onto the second shape (ctrl+c then ctrl+v). Use guidelines, if you find it difficult to make both shapes with the same width. Draw the 2nd shapeĪgain, with the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) draw the same shape but make it shorter than the first wood shape (about 6 pixels from the bottom).
Create a wood effectĬreate a wood effect using “fibers” from the filter menu (Filter > Render > Fibers), make sure you set the foreground color with #b67032 and the background color with #72319b. Take the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U), draw a shape then fill it in with color (#b67032). Since this is going to be used on-screen, we must set the color mode to RGB (not CMYK) and the resolution to 72 pixels (not 300). We will be designing our icon at 1024×1024 pixels but feel free to design yours at 256×256 or 512×512 pixels. And the best part: I’ll show you how to produce impressive results in a SHORT period of time. In this tutorial, I’ll use Photoshop to explain how to make a cool app icon for a pool game application. We also know that a successful icon will attract more consumers to the application itself. As designers, we know what an app icon is: a small graphical symbol that represents an application program.
