Creating a Favicon !

Step 1:
Open up Photoshop and create a "New" document with the size of the document set to 16x16 pixels.


Step 2:
Zoom into the square so that it can be easily seen, then choose the "Text" tool and write what you want to be on the Icon, for example mine is "SB" so this is what I type.


Step 3:
Next right click on the selected layer and choose "Blending Options" then pick all of the options which you want to include, on this example i have added a drop shadow, an inner shadow, it has been bevel and embossed and I have also added a colour overlay.


Step 4:
When you are happy with the final image then click File > Save As, and then choose JPG and then type .ico on the end of the file name instead of .jpeg this saves it as an Icon file which can be uploaded.
