PS tut

i've been making these icons for ages, but i've never really liked them...
now i see they're really popular and here's the tut on how to make them

go from this Image Hosted by ImageShack.us to this Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


ok here's my pic i took from http://desiringhayden.net/


i make it into my base, but it's only 70x70
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

then i make a new file, 100x100, white background
copy the base and paste it into that new file, and move it where i want it to bee

(it seems like the prev pic but it's 100x100 now, and you can't see it cause it's white, duuuuh)

then i write some text
here i wrote in arial, 2px, and i wrote something like Hayden Christensen blah bllaaah blllaaaaaah and so on, just random things, i couldn't think of anything

then, a final decoration, i made a little square selection, i think 2x2 px, and filled it with a color i took from the base, then i moved the selection and filled it with another color from the base, and then moved it again and filled it again....
so there's my hayden icon
