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