Make web 2.0 icons (Like ur Name ) in photoshop

Well this is the latest trend, most of the well known sites has web 2.0 icons. Like many people, I am amazed at look of these icons. These icons generally have glass effect with tinge of 3D shadow.


Here is my step by step guide of making a cool icon for your website or blog my self Sushil Kumar



Step - 1:Decide on the dimension of an icon. This depends on the structure of the template your are using. I use 376px X 105px, Open Photoshop and and type the text for the icon. Then jazz it up with some stylish font type, I used ‘Forte’ size - 43pt

You can download and install font from the Google or other. To install a font: go to Control Panel, fonts folder, then click on File, click on install new fonts, than give path ur download folder,

Step - 2: Select your text layer and press ctrl+j for duplicate layer, and come down it to your first leayer.Then go to edit->Transform -> Filip vertical, and adjust like this.
