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