PART III [Adding texts and Changing Background]

Hello girls (I don’t think any boy exists in our club :P)

Iti is back with another lesson of ikoni making. So today I will tell wewe how to change background of an image (while making icon) and adding texts to it. So, I will start the main problem that occurs during changing background, for beginners.

While changing background one need to know which tool is perfect. So here we start.

Steps

1.    Open a picture.

2.    Now click on “magic wand” and select the area wewe want to remove. For this wewe can click on “add” in the above box, where wewe can see which tool wewe selected. au directly press “cntrl + shift” and keep pressing it.

3.     When you’ll select the places, press “delete” button. And the required area will get deleted.

4.    Remember don’t deselect the area.

5.    Now use paint brush to color the required area in any color wewe want.

6.    You can add the shade of dark color in borders (remember in awali makala I told wewe how to do it? If not wewe can read it again)

7.    Now wewe can add “soft edge dots” as I told wewe how, in awali chapters.

8.    If wewe have problem in selecting any area wewe can also use Lasso tool, it really helps.




Now as wewe know how to change background I will tell wewe how to add texts.

Steps for adding texts


1.    You need to download beautiful fonts first. wewe can download them from link

2.    Now, go to the ikoni wewe prepared and click on “T” button which means text. Write down whatever wewe want to.

3.    Press “Cntrl + T” together and wewe and you’ll be able to resize it and place it where ever wewe want, wewe can also turn it around.

4.    If wewe use Photoshop, then open Layer box.

5.    Click on “f” button in bottom of layer box. And then follow what’s written below

Click on “f” -> Drop Shadow -> adjust opacity and spread shadow

6.    This will give a touch to wewe icon.

7.    G o to “Layer” on the juu it’s in the same box from where wewe see “File”, “Edit” etc.

8.    Click on option “Merge Visible.
