Create a Delete Icon - Photoshop tutorial


If you ever come to make your own social website, guestbook, back end system etc. you might want to have a few icons to display different actions. This Photoshop tutorial will teach you how to make your own delete icon.

Make a new document (Ctrl + N) and size 256x256. Make a new layer (Shift + Ctrl + N), name this layer "border", and with the Elliptical Marquee tool (M) make a circle while holding the Shift key. Fill the selection with black. Now transform the selection (Right click selection > Transform Selection). While holding down the Alt + Shift key make the selection a bit smaller and then Apply the selection. Delete the inner circle to get something like this:

With the selection still active make a new layer, call this layer "middle" and fill it with any color you like. I filled it with a green color.

Now with the Text tool (T) write a "+" and find a font that works for you. Transform the layer (Ctrl + T) and turn it 45 degrees and then duplicate it.

Now we need to apply quite a lot of Blending Options starting with the border layer (Right click > Blending Options).
