my first tutorial. made in photoshop cs. translatable & easy.
5 steps only.
make this icon:
1. screen your base, depends on your image.
2. new fill layer #120801; exclusion 100%.
3. new fill layer #051c49; soft light 30-50%, depends on your image.
4. hue/sat: saturation; 30-40. depends on your image; adjust to your liking.
5. color balance:
midtones: 47,-2,19
shadows: 26,12,-11
highlights: -7,-6,-11
opacity: 50%
& THAT`S IT. SIMPLE, EH?
