Designing a Clipboard icon in Photoshop

Clipboard Icon

Clipboard icon 1

Step 1:

Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 300×300 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with white. In a new layer draw a rounded rectangle with #5E3A2E color shade and 65 x 69 px dimensions.

Step 5:

Now use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to create a slanted selection around the bottom right corner of your white rounded rectangle. Then cut the selection and right away go to Edit > Paste, rotate the white piece through Edit > Transform it looks like the rounded rectangle has a fold.

Checklist

Remember, if designing for print, set your workspace to 300dpi and at actual size to be used, or larger. Many people use higher resolutions, 600dpi for instance, but this is not necessary, and will not improve the final print quality.

If designing just for the web, then a 72dpi workspace is fine.

Another thing to consider - if designing for print, then make sure 'Mode' is set for CMYK.

Insert > Mode > CMYK

Only use RGB mode if designing for the web.
