iPhone icon style images

[AusQB]

Does anyone know a good tutorial for making images with an effect similar to that of the icons on an iPhone? I'm not trying to make the icons themselves, I'm trying to replicate the effect on a larger size.

you need to search for rounded rectangle tool + extra layer in white with opacity 15%
also, duplicate layer + contract 5 pixels for example...

The shiny glare effect right?

AusQB look for a tutorial about "plastic buttons" or "glassy buttons". Tutorial 9 and PSDTutsplus are some great resources. But there are many others.

You could try searching iStock for suitable icons - they're available in vector format, for easy editing and are available at very reasonable prices on a royalty free licence. Here's a quick link to the icons that are available there:

Hope that helps!

AusQB, those two sites i recommended are good, and if you are wanting to make them on a larger scale (or scalable at all for that matter) I would use the vector drawing tools in Ps. Remember we spoke about that before, in reagrds to the use of anchors and drawing consistent curves.
Then apply the "glossy" effects with layer styles. This way when you re-size them they should all stay clear and proportional.

We use icons from
sibcode.com in our iPhone apps.

I also found some good icons here:
aha-soft.com

Happy developing.

This would help you in doing what you like. Knowing it wont affect if you re-size it,it's a good pick!
