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 an image created in collaboration between Perttu Murto who did the art direction, illustration and concept with Sami Kuronen who did the 3D modelign. the image is called Nine and it's perfect for a wallpaper.
