Glyfz128 Example Splash Screens

This page shows a couple of examples of how easy it is to create a splash screen using the Glyfz128 images together with the supplied splash screen backgrounds.

The OSX style splash screen background was opened and the calendar-2 and magnifying glass images pasted in to the "logo" layer of the splash screen background. The application title was then added top the "title" layer and finally the version and copyright text added to the "other text" layer.  These elements were moved to their final positions (easy as everything is in layers) and the background resized to the required height before being saved as a .png  Took longer to pick a font for the title than to put the rest together. It's a good idea to save also save the image in it's layered state, in this instance if I had I probably would have gone back in and added drop shadows to the text.

This is slightly more work, but not much, and uses a composite image. The logo was created using briefcase-2 as the basis and adding the ruler, pen, brush and paper to the contents layer after being resized as required. The brushed metal splash screen background was chosen.  Again once the composite image had been pasted in to the logo layer of the background and the text added the background was resized. In this instance as the texture isn't uniform the bottom horizontal line was drawn at the required position on the excess cropped.
