VectorVonDoom Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 This doesn't count as drawing as it's so easy and just a bit of fun đI keep meaning to do some classic mac icons but updated however I'm not sure what style to do them. Coloured versions of the originals or more fancy (anti-aliased) /skeuomorphic. Today I was messing around with just one, the Mac, which seemed like a sensible one to start on. The first is the System 1 style which came, unsurprisingly, with the first mac's the 128k and then 512k. It was a challenge to do đAll the icons were monochrome which makes sense as so were the screens. The second is just a recolour of the first just to see if it looked ok or not. The 3rd is system 7 style, they showed them grey for some reason, probably low colour. Then the final one is a skeuomorphic one. I didn't bother with system 9 as they went 3d by then and aren't particularly pretty. Also I think they dropped the classic mac icons by then as the power macs had replaced them. I might do some more as even doing some skeuomorphic style ones aren't exactly taxing. PierreLR, Danika, JohnSnr and 1 other 4 Quote  Marc ArtByMarc.me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorVonDoom Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 I never had one of the old macs, I did think about buying one a while back but then thought what would I do with it! I installed a couple of emulators on my macbook today, they will do. I've been having more of a think and know how I'm going to try and do them, I'll try again tomorrow. The last one needs a little tidy up in one place too, it was late I should have double checked or left it until the morning.

I didn't either but it was fabulous times. Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
