Jared Padalecki Icon Tutorial

Jul 21, 2006 23:09

This isn't my first icon tutorial but it is my first icon tutorial posted to the public, I hope it isn't to confusing.
from this:
> to this:

Made in Photoshop 7 in just 8 steps.

STEP ONE



This is the base I started off with, it's 96x96 because I make more MSN icons than anything therefor no border either.

Sharpen if you'd like but I prefered not to.

STEP TWO



To lighten I went to:

Image > Adjustments > Auto Color

STEP THREE



Duplicating the base, I set it to screen at 44%

STEP FOUR



Since I used curves and it'd be a pain to try and get the same marks as I, HERE is the download for the curve's preset I made.

Just put it in your Photoshop folder within your program files. When choosing curves click "load" then select the file then okay.

STEP FIVE



Apply the "Hue / Saturation" adjustment layer, Put the settings on:

HUE: -5

SATURATION: +43

LIGHTNESS: 0

STEP SIX



Apply the "Selective Color" adjustment layer, Put the settings on:

REDS: +3, 0, 0, 0

YELLOWS: +83, +9, -100, -33

GREENS: +19, +23, +19, -80

CYANS: +42, -12, -88, -69

BLUES: +67, 0, -29, 0

MAGENTAS: +39, +32, +50, -12

NEUTRALS: -37, +21, +7, -26

STEP SEVEN



Add this Icon Overlay, Invert it, Set to Screen.

Made by: Unmasked_Icons

STEP EIGHT



Create a fill layer with this color #72E5F6, Set it to color burn.

FINAL PRODUCT



Add the text you'd like, Here was my final product.

For those curious I used the font "Print Clearly" size 14px.
