This tutorial contributes to the designing a web page from scratch guide.  After successfully making custom icons to use on the site’s menu, we need to integrate those menu icons into the web design.

How to Integrate Menu Icons Into Photoshop Web Design

We’ll use the home icon as an example….

Convert PSD Image to JPG

After creating such a home icon in photoshop, goto File > Save As.  Then type in homeicon as the File Name.  Select JPEG for the file format.

Open JPG Image, Resize, and Copy

Great, you’ve just made your home icon into a JPG image.  Its name is homeicon.jpg.  Now, goto File > Open to open it.

The next step is to resize the homeicon.jpg image.  I used 80 x 73 pixels for my size dimension.

Afterwards, goto Select > All, then Edit > Copy.

Add the Home Icon to Web Design

At this point, we’ve already started our web design from scratch.  I’ve named my web design from scratch InterfaceDesign.psd. Our goal is to add the home icon onto the InterfaceDesign.psd.

Therefore goto File > Open, and select InterfaceDesign.

Great job on opening the file.  Now we can paste the home icon onto the page.  Do this by Edit > Paste.  At this point you can press V to use the Move tool for purposes of positioning the icon in the right place.  Feel free to add text beneath your icon.
