EDIT 1 (January 13, 2011): This piece was featured by the good folk(s?) at *junkieenet over on their website (check it out: [link])! It's such an awesome feeling for me and I'm pretty darn honoured. Thanks again to *junkieenet! :dummy:

:iconcommentplz:

I was bored, so I thought I would make a vector-y keyboard-thingy to match my vector-y iMac-thingy.

The keyboard itself took me about four and a half hours to make, and the text took like, two minutes. :P
Everything is made from scratch (even the music and volume control buttons) except for the Command symbol. I just found a .png of that on Google ([link]).
The typeface used is VAG Rounded - Thin, which is the font used on an actual current-generation iMac keyboard. I used my own keyboard for reference, and created the keys using the Rounded Rectangle tool. And it took forever!
I'm really happy with it, though, so it was well worth it.

Originally, I wasn't going to include any words, I was just going to make a keyboard for the sake of being bored (and making a keyboard), but I thought "This is the perfect opportunity to do some typography..."
So, I did, and I like it!

Get it?! Like, "Practice safe sex..." Hahaha! :evillaugh:

Photoshop Cs4; 5 hours.

Critique by ~1WhoWalksWithWolves Feb 19, 2012, 12:19:13 PM
It's hilarious and charming. Making it a Favorite, nice work.
20 stars total. The vision is very clear you might want to make the
keyboard letters and things Darker. The originality I have never seen this be4. You are amazing and your art hasn't betrayed you ever. Your Technique is Perfecto! I have no idea what an impact is so I am not saying anything si I dont look like an Idiot. But this is an original very very nice indeed. I voted five stars on everything. Awesome job. Keep being awesome -1 Who Walks With Wolves just everything together.
