So I sat on my couch, checking my e-mail. I turn my Ipad off, when I turn it bak on I realize that my Ipad has a very boring wallpaper. The screen when you first turn your device on or the "lock screen" was blah and boring. I like to be able to say," I made that". And what better thing to make than your own wallpaper! In a few easy steps you can be able to make your own wallpapers like these:
So instead of having to try to configure the right size when you set it as your wallpaper you could just make the photoshop document the right size. When you do this the wallpaper fits perfectly! You have a lot of creative freedom for this project! A good tool to use if you want a nice hand drawn effect is a computer tablet like this:
It is a nifty little board that acts like a sketchpad for the computer!
It plugs into your computer where USB drives would go... So If you want that you should get it because it is really fun and useful. To start, open a new document in photoshop:
Layer>New>Layer
Click OK, and now you can upload pictures.
I am using my portrait as an example of a picture.
To edit (make big/smaller/rotate) got to Edit>Free Transform.
When you get to a size you like, click enter.
To save right go to File>Save As
Name it, select destination, and most importantly change the file format to JPEG. Click Save. The wallpapers are a great way to personalize your device and I will definitely be making more. Here is what they look like on your screen:
As you see, they fit great! If you make any, I'd love to see your results! Thanks,

Open it as width and Height: 1024 pixels. Resolution: 300. And keep all other presets.
