Creating the Apple Logo
Tutorial in Basics, Drawing, Effects, Goodies, Uncategorized, Various
I commonly apply Apple wallpapers in my PC’s desktop because I find them nice and high quality designs. Yesterday I thought: “What about creating my own Apple wallpaper?” I did, and I want to share it with you. I hope you like it.
To begin, create a new document (800×600px and white background).
Then download the apple logo by clicking here. You will need to have Corel or Illustrator in order to open this file. Once you have the file opened, select the apple, copy it, and paste it in the Photoshop document.
Fill in the background layer with black.
Double click the Apple layer to open ((Blending Options)).
((Gradient Overlay)). For this gradient, I used these colors: #615f5f and #ffffff.
((Stroke)). Choose the gradient that comes by default in Photoshop, named “Silver”.
Accept the changes.
Now go to the background layer.
Select ((Gradient Tool)), radial, and choose the following colors: #3f0043 and #000000. Trace the gradient in a way that it looks like the following image.
Press Ctrl + E to unify the layers: the apple and the background.
Go to menu ((Filter))-((Render))-((Lighting Effects)). Enter the values that appear below, and pay attention to how I placed the lights.
This is the final result.
