Mike Vallely BOLT Dock

Description

Well it's been a year since joining DeviantArt (and many more as a fan), and here is my very first deviation. I grew up skateboarding, and am a huge fan of Mike Vallely. I hope you can enjoy this!

This dock was made with an actual photo of a section of griptape and resized with Apple's Preview. I tried to get it to look as real as possible, but the way Leopard skews the png's, it angles the sparkles a bit. The bottom wood portion of the dock is a long section of one of the darker maple layers of my Mike V Stinger deck.
The dock divider was made from a photo of my Mike Vallely Stinger skateboard and was re-sized also using Preview. I used the Instant Alpha tool to remove the black background.

ICONS NOT INCLUDED
I don't remember where I got most of these skate icons from. Maybe it was interfaceLIFT back in 2005, but I can't find a link anymore. If anyone finds one, please let me know.

Black Macbook Pro Icon is a custom icon by me - It's the machine I designed this dock on. Paint by ColorWare: [link] (color: Jet Black)
Apple Icon by Stratification: [link]

No App Indicators are included.... there's much better ones out there than I could make.

No doubt that your dock is amazing.

However, complex icons are now an old thing. I used to love such complex and 3-d icons until iOS 7 came out. Minimialism is the best. I wouldn't pressurize you, but it would be good if you could focus on developing minimialistic icons.
