Icons you've made

[martinatkinson]

If you guys want to see my first attempt at imatating Aqua, take a look at my avatar...I designed a series of smilies from scratch in PS 7 with many expressions (even an alien if I remember right)

Not the best, but I suppose it is worth mentioning

That's pretty good. It's hard to make aqua shapes. I gave up on trying to make them myself and started using Aquaint.

Hey guys, if you're going for an aqua type look don't give up! That's only for weenies to do!

Instead mess around in photoshop, here's what I suggest:

1) Take your shape and add a bevel and emboss filter to it, only change the settings around a bit and change the gloss contuer (sp?) to look somewhat like the image attached to this post.

2) Add a small inner shadow, and make it 50% transparent.

3) Add a satin filter, set at 50% transperent, with the color being white.

Just mess around from there and you'll find what you're looking for! It's easy if you have time to mess around like me.
