Create a Calendar Icon - Design Tutorial 2
Now you will need to start creating the boxes for the days. It does not have to be the exact number of days, but just to make it look a little more official, get it close to that number. We will start by creating a column with a 1px border inside our body of the calendar. The main color for the column will be #e8e8e8, and #c0bbbb for the border.
Now we have to cut squares out of that rectangle, so grab your Rectangular Marquee Tool, and just cut the rectangle into small boxes.

Nice.. I’m gonna try it, but I love your background even more, how do you do that?

The background is actually a default Mac OSX Wallpaper but you just gave me an idea to create a tutorial on how to make one so expect that to come soon.

Other than a few spelling mistakes I was doing good until we made the first “column” for the boxes. I cannot find anywhere to set up a 1 pixel border. You didn’t tell which tool to use so I assumed the same rectangle tool we used thus far. Also your one settings page was difficult to read.
I would also like to ask you what we are starting with as far as a base is concerned (size and dpi settings). I think I would like it far better if you were to take screenshots of the work in progress from within photoshop instead of exporting each step (what it appears you are doing).
I can’t say great tut because I can’t finish but I’m happy with a good majority of the tut until the step I am stuck at.
