Creating a Calendar Icon - Design Tutorial 2
Now I have noticed that a lot of people create some really nice web icons on their blogs, so I decided to actually create in this Photoshop tutorial a general icon for a Calendar. Below is the outcome of this Photoshop tutorial:
We will start with a simple step of creating the base for our icon. Below, I have displayed the setting for my drop shadow and the base itself.

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.
