We are going to show you how to create the 9 most common types of buttons for UI / web design, so we have split up this article into a number of parts. In this tutorial we show you how to create simple UI buttons using some basic techniques in Pixelmator. This article is part of a new series of tutorials for creating UI/UX designs in Pixelmator. This will remove the slight brown tint, and give you a pure metal texture:Īnd finally, if we export this into a PNG (use CMD+Shift+E custom shortcut that we showed you how to set up in Tip #37), we get an awesome brushed metal texture, which can be saved in your toolkit and used in a number of future design project.
Open the Effects panel (CMD+3), and choose Color Adjustments, and then Desaturate. In order to remove the brown tint, ensure the second layer (with the custom gradient) is selected in the layers panel. If we Export the file as a PNG (use CMD+Shift+E custom shortcut that we showed you how to set up in Tip #37), we should have a nice brushed metal texture with a slight brown tint: Next we will add two effects to this layer.įor the first effect, open the Effect panel (CMD+3), then select Stylize, and choose Noise.ĭrag the Noise effect onto the first layer, and set it as follows:įor the second effect, go back to the Effects panel (CMD+3), select Blur, and choose Motion Blur.ĭrag the motion blur onto the first layer, and use the following settings:Īll going well, you should have something like the below: Now go back and select the first layer in the layers panel. Once you’ve added in the gradient, now go to the layers panel, ensure the second layer is selected, and change the layer blending options to Linear Burn. Using the gradient tool click and drag the gradient at a 45 degree angle (holding down Shift while you click and drag will restrict it to 45 degrees). To import the new gradient, Open the Gradients panel (CMD+5), use the gear icon, and choose Import Gradient to select your gradient file. Note that the gradient has a natural brown metal tint.

On the second layer, we will add in a custom gradient. You can download the custom gradient file for free from our store.
On the first layer, fill it with a nice grey colour #c0c0c0 using the paint bucket tool. Step 1:Ĭreate a new document – we use our standard 400x400px set at 72px resolution for patterns or textures. In this tutorial, we’ll show you a simple technique to create a realistic brushed metal texture using Pixelmator.
