In this article we reveal how to create amazing ipod skins to will amaze your friends.

iPod skins are and will remain all the rage for iPods.  The reason is that they give the device a very unique look that makes them easy to identify and also speaks as a statement of style to everyone around.  If you have ever lamented that the skins you see are all the same,How To Create Amazing Ipod Skins Articles then you've probably found yourself wondering how to create your own.

 

The first step is to find a site that allows you to create your own.  Wrappz.com has an easy to use “Create Your Own” on the very front page.  This will easily allow you to create and buy an iPod skin all from one site.

 

The second step is to decide what you want on your iPod.  You're going to need to create or find a photo; this photo is eventually going to be uploaded and used to skin your iPod.  This step is the most important—you want to find something that fits your personality and your style.  Solid colors are boring.  Keep that in mind.

 

Once you have found the perfect picture, you can choose to do one of a few things.  If you're artistic, go ahead and upload the picture to the software and then skin your iPod.  Once you have a feel for the way you want the skin to fit, you will need to determine how to minimize the impact that the button and screen are having on the way your picture looks.  The best skins will incorporate them in some way, or give a comparing or contrasting color that doesn't make the wheel and screen stand out.  However, if you're not artistic, don't worry.  This step doesn't matter unless you're aching for perfection and, if you are, you can usually get away with highlighting the areas around your wheel in black, a step that can be done in any image editing program. 

 

Step four is to upload and finalize the skin on your iPod.  Once you have the image uploaded and selected, all you need to do is pan until the image fits the way you want it to, and then “Add To Cart”.  Congratulations!  You have made your first personalized iPod skin and, if you've followed the instructions above, it's almost definitely an amazing iPod skin that will leave your friends and peers envious.
