Imac Magic Mouse Views
Apple reassures us that Magic Mouse won't confuse a scroll with a swipe, presumably because of the magical chip embedded inside. Apple is trying to replicate the multitouch functionality of the trackpad on a mouse, but we won't know how successful the effort is until we get our hands on one. The mouse by itself costs $69, but it comes packaged with the iMacs introduced today.
Storage-wise, both iMacs come with either a 500 or 1TB SATA drive or an optional (built-to-order) 2TB SATA drive. Like Apple's latest notebook line, the new iMac also has a built-in SD card slot for easy transferring of pictures and other data. Finally, the iMacs come with a completely new wireless keyboard and the Magic Mouse. The 21.5-inch iMac starts at $1,199 and the 27-inch model starts at $1,699, and there's a walkthrough video for those inclined to check it out.
This tutorial is about using Adobe Illustratorm’s Mesh Tool (U) and several basic techniques to create a vector style monitor and mouse, with a similar design as Apple.’s brand new iMac 27h″ with magic mouse. You can use these techniques to create other monitors and mouse designs as well. Let ’s get started!
I also prepared the Magic Mouse to practice the skills you have learned. The next steps which describe the creation process are more brief to let you see how much you understand the steps during creation of the iMac. If you are lost you can roll back and check the previous steps again or just play with the source AI file.
