This last month my wife and I had our first baby. While this is something that I would normally put personal site, it is the reason for why I have had so much time recently to draw the following things. With less sleep, more down time, and not enough client work to fill my time, I found myself passing time with the recreation of some of the newer recognizable Apple products. Each one is completely vector and drawn in Illustrator CS5.
The new Apple TV. Apple’s continual push towards minimalism makes these less and less challenging to recreate. The harsh glossy lines are no more than simple gradients. Much easier than the previous Apple TV.
The new iPod Nano. This was fun to illustrate because of the detail around the buttons. It really makes the image look good.
The new iPod Touch was also a fun one to recreate. The headphones especially took some time to get right. Overall, I was very pleased with the result.
The Apple Remote. Simple. Not much to it.
The unibody MacMini is gorgeous. It looks so slick. Check the detail work on the slot-loading CD Drive.
And my favorite one of all, the Magic Trackpad. I think this turned out great! This one was actually done in CS3 since I did it on my laptop. (Not going to pay for 2 CS5 licenses now, am I?) That proved some difficulty for transparency with the shadow, but over all, it turned out really well!
These look so great! You did a great job! I think the remote and Mac Mini are my favorites.
Very cool. I just stumbled on your site and these product replications are awesome! I haven’t looked around too much, and am sure some has to have asked this, but have you considered publishing tutorials on your processes for creating these vectors?
Glad you like them. I’ve been meaning to do a walkthrough on my process. Perhaps when the iPhone 5 comes out I will take time to document it properly. Thanks for your interest!
Do you have these available for download?
