(4) go to edit > stroke > changes the setting to 3px and a white colour and click ‘OK’ (2) just select the heck outta your icon until it covers all area there’s a lot of ways of course, to do it, but what i did is. Of course it doesn’t have to be as a lot as i’ve done it above^, but that’s just to make sure that people can understand what i meant. just click the eye of the background layer (NOT THE BACKGROUND COPY) and we can move on to out next step, which is secure a few spaces behind the icon in transparency. NOW SEE HOW I MAKE SURE THE BACKGROUND LAYER WON’T BE AVAILABLE ? yes, do that please. If a pop up showed up to ensure if you really wanna do that and name it, just press okay (in my case, i don’t bother naming them unless it gets crowded later), and then you would be left with this (2) and just use the crop tool to expand the size a little bit (1) make sure you duplicate your picture so it could be another layer (or you could turn the background into a layer itself) Now my next step is only an advisable step - like you don’t have follow it if you don’t want (you can still do your border in any case) but what i would do is create some transparency space behind a.k.a. on another note, i’m very aware that the icons aren’t pretty - i don’t put any psd or any adjustment on the icon itself ( taken from here) - but feel free to adjust the borders or your icon later on once you’ve fully understood the tutorials because im really teaching you the basics of how i usually do it and it’s really adjustable :))įor starters let’s start with the first one so, have your icon - set it in whatever size you want ( the new trend is the smaller the better, i set mine usually at 65圆5 although for this tutorial it would be 100x100, but you do what you like my friends ) - and leave it be. Note: the brown-background is merely to show how the border would look like in case the white background doesn’t allow you to see it, but rest assured we will be having our icons in. (3) or how to add borders on a rounded icon (1) basic borders - dark outline, with white lines. well, first of all, here is some of the borders i’ll be guiding you guys on to make: should you have any question once the tutorial is over, feel free to reach out to me via IM or askbox.
