Icon Design for PSP Themes

I like doing PSP themes, since it is easy to show my work. However, the program – PSP Custom Theme Converter – is not that easy to use, it seems it has problems with alpha channel. I am using another program to dealt with it now. If you know the tricks about it by any chance, please advise, it is greatly appreciated. Another issue with PSP theme design is that there are dozens icons, you probably quickly find your are out of ideas after a couple of themes. At this point, I tried to jump out of it, and do whatever style I like.

If you want to design your own PSP theme, here is a table I did when I design the theme. The table lists all the icon categories and subcategories of PSP theme, and their dimension requirements. It not official one, but I hope it will help to make your job quicker and easier.

How to Draw Bananas Using Inkscape

bananashap When I was drawing, the bananas just sitting on my desk. If you like to draw a set of bananas with different look, read this tutorial then draw based on yours. The basic rules are the same.

Step1: Use Bezier Curves tool draw a path with banana shape. This is the most important part of drawing. Whether it will like a real banana depends the shape. It probably will take a bit time to draw such irregular shape, also depends on the angle you see it. I found it is much easier to turn the grid on when draw the path, since you can easily work out where the points should be located. Then adjust them after. (To turn on grid, go to View –> Grid, or click # key.) When you satisfied with the shape, fill it with a yellow colour. The colour here is #eebf06ff.

bananashap41 Step2: Now draw the highlight shadow of the banana. Again, use Bezier Curves tool to draw a moon shape path. Make sure the curves are parallel to the top and bottom curves of the banana you just drew. Use the handle to adjust the curves till you are satisfied with, then fill in with a very light yellow colour. We want to highlight the center. To do this, draw another moon shape path with much smaller size, and move it to the center of the big one. Fill this little path with radial gradient, from white(center) to the light yellow colour you just picked for the big moon shape. Now your banana should look like this.
bananashap5 Step3: To make more depth to the banana, we want to make the outside edge of the banana darker. We use Clip here. Duplicate the banana shape from step1, stroke it with a very dark yellow colour (close to black), then adjust the blur bar to about 3. Remove the fill color for this shape. Duplicate this path and remove the blur for the stroke as show here.
bananashap7 Step4: Now move the path without blur on top of the one with blur. Go to Object –> Clip –> Set. It should like the image shown here.
bananashap14 Step5: Move the clipped path on top of the banana you just drew. make sure the edges are finely closed. Your banana now looks much more depth.
bananashap1 Step6: Make the head and end of banana. Use Ellipse tool draw an ellipse shape, rotate it above 45 degrees, and fill with slightly dark yellow color. Duplicate this ellipse and then fill it with black colour.
bananashap2 Step7: Move the black ellipse on top of yellow one. Duplicate another smaller ellipse and fill it with radial gradient, from bright yellow colour to black.
bananashap3 Step8: Move the gradient ellipse on top of the other two, group these three ellipses together. Now you have head and end.
bananashap8 Step9: Duplicate the head, put them at the two ends of banana. You need to rotate the heads and ends to fit the angle of the banana. Now group them all together. Your single banana has been finished.
bananashap10 Step10: Duplicate a couple of bananas, and adjust their length, height and angles.
bananashap11 Step11: Put these single bananas together. Make sure their head are all together. Your probably find the head of this banana set is a little bit messy. To make it more like a set, we need a bigger head to hide the multiple little heads. Duplicate the head you just made, make it slightly bigger, then put it on top of the head. Now your bananas should like image shown here.
bananashap12 Step12: The final step is to make the shadow. You can simply use Ellipse tool draw an ellipse and fill it with black to white radial gradient. However, I like to draw another path based on the shape of banana. This will make it more realistic. Use Bezier Curves tool draw a path on top of bananas, adjust angles till smooth. Fill it with black to white radial gradient, then blur it.
bananashap13 Step13: Move the shadow at the bottom of bananas. The position depends on where the light from. You can adjust the opacity if necessary to fit the darkness of shadow. Now we have drawn a cute banana set as image shown :) This icon is from Fruity PSP theme, there are more icons you can download from Download Icons. You can also down load this Fruity PSP Theme.

“A Comme Amour” Desktop Wallpaper

The idea of this wallpaper comes from the famous music piece musicnoteswallpaper1280x1024“A Comme Amour” .  I like playing it a lot.

The design of this wallpaper:

  • Background style: Black and green is the main color for this wallpaper. I actually tried different color for the background, such as light green, but only the black color makes the music notes stand out, showing very clear effect. The green waves at the bottom are drawn using the pen tool, fill them with gradient. You can try slightly different colors for the gradient. Then change the blend mode to Screen, or Multiply. Play with different blend mode, you will get the different effects.
  • The musical notes: The musical notes are the most important part of this wallpaper. A glossy and cute shap will make the whole wallpaper different. Use ellipse tool draw a base ellipse, then rotated about 45 degrees. Fill it with green(You can pick any color you like, such as pink.). Copy the ellipse by holding down Alt and dragging, then make this ellipse about half size, fill in with similar color you just pick for the big ellipse, but reduce the Saturation about half down . Then use pen tool draw a arc shap path, fill it with very light green (almost white) to give it a bright light spot effect. Now go to Object –> Blend –> Blend Options, choose “Smooth Color”, then click OK. Back to artboard, select all three ellipses, go to Object –> Blend –> Make. You should see the similiar effect like the notes.
