Hello Kitty Laptop Skins

So, you want a hello kitty skin? I have good news and bad news.

First, the bad news… I don’t have any. But wait! The good news!

I’m going to teach you how to make your own Hello Kitty Skins!!

First, you need an image you can scan of Hello Kitty. Maybe some stationary or something else?

Found one? Good. Now scan your Hello Kitty image at 300 dpi.

If the final file was not at least 1 MB, the image you scanned might be too small. This applices for larger devices like a laptop, Xbox360, PS3 or other game console. If you are making Hello Kitty Skins for smaller devices like a cell phone, ipod, or similar sized device, your image can be closer to 500 kb.

Your output file (jpg, png, or gif) should be at least 1MB to ensure you have good resolution and a sharp image. Next you might need to open Photoshop and bring your image in there.

You might choose to “clean” solid colors around your Hello Kitty image as the scan might be just ok, or you might choose to trace the Hello Kitty image and drop onto an entirely new background. It’s up to you. If you’re not real familiar with Photoshop, you might find brushes are interesting too.

Here’s one set of “Hello Kitty Brushes“, and there’s lots more out there.
