Learn to make this





Today I will show you how to do this. Do not try and take this and claim it’s your own because it’s not. This is Paint shop pro 7 and animation shop 3 and eye candy 4000

First off I start off with an icon base from here

http://www.pretty-secrets.net/



Then I make my own gradient by picking out two colors

I get this or you can do what ever one you want

Then I copy onto my icon base

Then you need to do this in your layer palette

You will get this make sure you pick color

This is pretty much optional but you can add blind these are my settings

This too is also another optional step borders I like them it looks nice

Now in order to get them to switch you have switch the color

Add the border
Switch
Add the border



Now you want to merge all layers

I know a lot of you know all lot of this but when I first started learning I knew none of this so hopefully it will come in handy to someone!

Now you want to add your tag all another optional but since this is just a text icon it makes it much easier for someone to steal the icon.

I use http://www.dafont.com/visitor.font to tag icons with

Now here is where the drop shadow comes in handy!

Add the drop shadow or you will not see your tag


Now you can add your name I used http://www.dafont.com/bell-bottom-laser.font

I add the name and once again add a drop shadow


Again add a drop shadow


Now I also add Bevel boss
Here are my setting you can play around with them to get what you like



Now you are ready for the jiggle effect







Now what I do here is I save 4 differnet times moving the arrow around saving each time then undoing it





Save

And repeating four times I usually save the four 20a keep the first one normal no jiggle 20b 20c 20d. Make sure you save each time you undo





Now you want to switch to animation shop 3

You want to now his animation wizard



Now add all your frames you saved



It only shows 3 frames here but I usually do for frames

You should have this

Then your final product should be like this
Hope I didn’t lose you!
