Create a simple iPhone wallpaper in a few steps using some gradients.

1. Open a new file with following dimensions 320 x 480 pixels and make a new layer.

2. Make a gradient #0f6bac to #57a9cf.

9. Then we’ll be adding some minimal details, open the Layer Style’s window and go to Drop Shadow.

10. After that go to Gradient Overlay and a Gradient of #f6f6f6 to #ffffff. And you should have something similar to this:

11. Finally we’re going to reflect it. First duplicate the layer and change the fill to 0% then right click over the layer and Rasterize it and go to Edit/Transform/Flip Vertical and move it down. Make a selection with the Rectangle Marquee Tool and right click over it and Feather and put 20px. Delete it about 4 times and that’s it your own iPhone Wallpaper.

In order for an image to show at the center of the “slide to unlock” screen, an image has to be 10 pixels down from vertical center. It’s a small point, but one worth noting.

I’ve posted my own iPhone wallpaper template here.

Very nice tutorial. I don’t have photoshop but was able to apply the instructions in Fireworks and got the exact same effect. Thanks!

wow this thing is great my first time every using photoshop and it turned out amazing thanks =)

This looks so awsome, I didn’t know I could create my own!

This wallpaper look nice :) Thanks :)

You neglected to mention the resolution the file should be. Is it 300 dpi like print or 72 dpi like web images. Neither. The Apple iPhone screen is 180. So, if you follow the tutorial above, just make sure your new file is 320×480 at 180 dpi. If you create a standard web size of 72 dpi, your image will look blurry and amateur. The tutorial mentioned in the comments above shows how to make snappy wallpapers, but also neglects this fact.

Hey. Would love the wallpaper without the text. Any chance that you could post that/email it? Thanks.
