Practical Photoshop Tutorial: Making a ZIP IconSource:Blue Ideal
The process is a little simple and there are not many details. If you use a book as an icon, you can make it more detailed. If it is only part of the icon, it should be simple and clear.
Determine a rough perspective, not precise, but reasonable.
Make a rectangle (Rectangle Tool), adjust it to a shape close to the perspective relationship, create this vector mask for the layer, gradient fill, graphic style, outer stroke, and inner glow.
Duplicate the original layer and slightly adjust the perspective.
Create a new blank layer between these two layers.
Fill with 10% gray, filter [Noise]-[Add Noise], adjust the value to a reasonable position, such as: quantity 5%, even distribution, monochrome.
Select a 3-6 pixel wide rectangle at the edge of the canvas and stretch the rectangle so that its noise stretches into a gradient line shape. Make the bottom left part of the book rectangular (larger than the thickness of the book) and freely transform it to be parallel to the book.
Copy the vector mask on the bottom of the book and paste it on the page One layer, create a vector mask and move the entire layer up 2 pixels. Adjust the details to complete the thickness of the inner page on the left side of the book.
Pull out the rectangular shape of the spine of the book through the path and adjust the thickness to make a curvature. Add layer style. Create a new layer, copy the vector mask of the spine layer, and fill it with the gradient of “transparent to black to transparent” with appropriate specific values. Change the layer’s blending mode to “Soft Light”. The curvature of the spine is revealed and the details are adjusted. Finish.
