TUTORIAL OF HOW TO MAKE ICONS

Ok, a lot of people have been asking me to make a tutorial, IT’S REALLY EASY to make icons…

1- Open your picture on photoshop (if you don’t have it search for the download here http://yeahps.tumblr.com/tagged/download)

i’m using this one

2- Select “Rectangular Marquee Tool” or press M and select the area you want to make the icon.

3- Now go to Image > Crop.

The picture must look like this.

UPDATE: THE NEW IMAGE SIZE FOR TWITTER ICONS IS 240X240

4- Go to Image > Image Size… or press Alt+Ctrl+I and resize the width to 150 and height to 140 until 160 and press ok

5- Now you put a coloring on the icon, in my case i’m going to use my own psd but you can find another one here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/psd and flatten the image

6 - Now that you put the psd on the picture, you have to use topaz, if you don’t have installed you can find the link here http://yeahps.tumblr.com/tagged/download too, my settings of topaz are this one http://a-benzo.tumblr.com/post/21354903421/could-you-please-share-with-me-your-topaz-settings

the picture must look like this

7 - Now to go to Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen

8 - Press ok and save the icon in PNG, it will look like this.

AND DONE. I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU, PLEASE LIKE THIS POST IF YOU READ IT AND PUT THE CREDITS IF YOU REPOST THE TUTORIAL <3
