PS make a stylish ipod icon

This tutorial introduces a simple crystal style icon making method. Ideas and processes are relatively simple, as long as the pen tool to check out the selection of objects, and then fill the gradient, and then appropriate plus the high light and darkened, crystal effect came out.

Final effect

1, a new 600 * 600 pixel file, background fill white. Create a new layer and use a pen to check out the selections shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

2, select the Gradient tool, color settings, such as Figure 2, pull out the linear gradient shown in Figure 3.
