Wow My first ever tutorials. Woo hoo!
I use PSP 8 to do my icons.

We are going from this:
to this:


Start out with your base:

  • Duplicate and Sharpen once >> set to soft light
  • Duplicate sharpened >> set to screen
  • Duplicate again >> set to screen at 60
  • Next we take THIS Gradient. Set to Darken.
  • Duplicate gradient twice. Set both to Soft Light
  • Next take a copy of your sharpened base and put it on top >> set to screen
  • Duplicate that and set to Overlay. Desaturate and raise the lightness to 20

    That's it for the coloring! As far as the text - I took the "rounded rectangle" and flood-filled it with the color #D4D8CE. Then I used the font "Violation" to write the words.

    Hope this was helpful!

    Now we are going from this:
    to this :



    Start out with your base copied and pasted onto a 100x100 white base:

  • Next I take THIS gradient, set to Exclusion at 70
  • Next copy your base and sharpen it. Bring it to the top and set it to screen
  • Duplicate the layer and set it to screen
  • Duplicate the layer again and set it to Soft Light
  • I made a new layer and used THIS brush (I'm sorry, I don't remember who made it) - and in white stamped it at the top and bottom, just enough to make the ragged border around the picture.
  • Finally I did the text in #808080 in Kingthings Trypewriter

    Hope these were helpful, please comment if you used this or if it was helpful to you at all:) Since this was my first, I'd appreciate feedback:)
    Credit if you use icons:)
