I do requests - at least when I know them...

I get questions on how to do the 'glassy button' or the 'apple button' all the time. You know what I'm talking about - that ultra cool looking button that just screams, "Click ME!"

Anyway, if you're looking to do this, look no further. Here's a basic tutorial that you can download. I've included the original Photoshop file (done in CS3) along with a rudimentary PDF that shows you step by step. I'll be tinkering with exactly how much detail to give in these tutorials over the course of the next couple of months, so if you're looking for more or less, let us know.

Here's what the graphic itself:

Mordy, is 'da man' when it comes to Illustrator. I can't speak too highly for his skills and abilities. Check out the link and explore his blog!
