A few weeks ago I showed you how to create a Mac style icon using Photoshop. It was a radar one inspired by the Network Utility icon. As I like to play with all tools I decided to give it a try in Pixelmator as well.
So, in this tutorial I will show you how to create a beautiful Mac style icon using Pixelmator. I will show you how to create some bevels and light effects that are very characteristic of these icons.
The wallpaper of this week is a very cool image created by Leif Incognito, a very young graphic artist from Germany also known as Iseedeadpixels or K-OZ. Despite the young age, Leif has some really nice works mixing a bit of retro style and geometric shapes.
I'm Leif, 17 years old, from Germany. In the Internet you maybe know me as iseedeadpixels or K-OZ. I still visit school but sometimes i do smaller Jobs for Companys or Photographers. If you have any Questions visit my dA (http://iseedeadpixels.deviantart.com) or e-mail me (don.k-oz@hotmail.de).
The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it's a great source of inspiration. The book is called New Vintage Type: Classic Fonts for the Digital Age and we have used it for reference in many tutorials here on Abduzeedo.
