Apple Brushed Aluminum Photoshop Tutorial

March 12, 2008 from

I've just finished my new Photoshop tutorial and this time it won’t have lighting effects, with glows and sparks all over, however its is again a request from a user. Tom suggested if we could create a brushed aluminum texture similar to the Apple products.

There are some nice techniques applied on this tutorial, and I think it can be easily used to interface design and web design projects.

The tutorial will be published at psdtuts.com soon I think. But I took some more time and created 2 desktop wallpapers and 2 iPhone wallpapers.
