Tutorial: striped bg, quote icon!
How to create this kind of icon in Photoshop 7.0

Wanna learn something?

1. Open a 100x100 or something like that square with a transparent background

2. Make it a color you like

3. Open this pattern:


4. Go to edit - define pattern

5. Go back to your icon. Go to your layers, and press the little f and after that, choose Pattern Overlay.


6. Select the pattern you just added and use soft light, 100%

7. Put text on the icon. I chose BORING (because I was out of good ideas =))
Go to your layers again, press the little f and select Drop Shadow.


FINISHED!
Other icons I used this technique on:

Are you sure you've got an active layer that's filled with something? You know.. a color or sth ;)
