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 artowrk created by Neil Hanvey, a designer, illustrator and web developer from Hereford, United Kingdom. For this wallpaper Neil shows us a design to support the victims from the earthquake in Haiti, the design is called "Hope for Haiti".
For more information we highly recommend that you visit Neil's Behance profile at http://www.behance.net/neilakoga or his Deviant Profile at http://neilakoga.deviantart.com/
The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
