Hello everyone, many people have asked me how do I make those types (which you 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 artigo about it, I wish it’ll help you all to enhance your ability. This is not just a single article. I will upload the segundo part too. In first part I will tell you basic and simple steps from which you can improve your ícone (By using Photoshop and segundo por using any online editing website) . I decided to do this as when I was uploading ícones in gallery (of this spot) I saw people were doing same mistake and thought that if I can help you guys it’ll be good for you guys too and for this spot too. So here I’ll start with.
Size : Size of ícone does matter, best size for ícones is (1OO x 1OO)cm or (15O x15O) as in fanpop profiles our ícones are shown between these two sizes. Though you can extend it to (2OO X 2OO)cm. But you extend it mais it looks like a fanart rather than an icon. So if you want a “perfect” ícone keep it under size (2OO X 2OO)cm.
Quality : Quality of picture is segundo
most important thing for an icon, as ícones are small in size so while editing keep in mind to not make the ícone too bright or blurred.
Effect : I have seen many editing works were people add effect which don’t suit the picture/icon, like there a ícone of Flora which looks cute and with any fotografia editing website one add fogo flame effect to it which don’t suits it. Editing (such as that of pixlr express) works for pictures but not for icons. Adding too much glitter make ícone very famine which is not liked por everyone instead try to add little glitter/sparkles.
In photoshop you can use soft edge (round) brush and just click where you want it to be, not many but little soft glitter can make ícone look adorable.
Text add another good thing to icons, try to add little and meaningful quote to icon, which takes ícones to the seguinte standard.
Good fotografia editing website : Before I had Photoshop 7 I used to use link. It’s one of the best fotografia editing website. I have used Photoshop element 1O before and I can say it’s like PS element very much. It has free brushes, you don’t need to download all just add then and save them. Whenever you want to make ícone you can upload those brushes. You can learn how to editar with that website as it has a section “Help” and once you’ll learn it’ll be very easy for you. You can even ask perguntas there. I can assure you 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 given it 1O/5 XD
While adding text you can give effect to texts too , drop shadow effect it good for it as it makes text mais realistic.
In seguinte part I’ll tell you 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 artigo for left ones.
Uploading : While uploading add ( 2OO X 2OO )cm ícones add them ícone you can add them in any category e.t. fã art or icons. As it can be called ícone (usually ícone are of 1OO X1OO but it can be 2OO X 2OO) or a fã art.
Thanks for leitura this, I hope this will help you guys. I’ll upload seguinte part soon. Please give your review.
