With the release of the iPhone 4S we saw the introduction of Siri. For many of us it marks the serious initiative to implement a long talked about idea of voice controlled computing. I wanted to mark the introduction of voice controlled computing by recreating the Siri icon in fireworks.
I came across the new iCloud application from apple (which is in beta at the time of writing this tut) the logo replicates the brushed metal that permeates most, if not all apple products. I thought it would be a good excuse to show some techniques for creating brushed metal effects.
While creating the google plus icon recently I started to explore creating other icons.
Having got a google plus account recently I thought I would have a go at creating some social icons, the source for the icons is open to download and re-use.
