Since the iPad is Apple’s latest creation there’s bound to be many freebies for it and this article shows you the best of what is out there for your iPad (they’re free too!). For those of you who don’t know what an iPad is it is a tablet computer which has many key tasks such as browsing the web, email, sharing photos, watching videos, playing games, and reading digital book. The iPad also has many features including: Safari, App Store, iBooks, Maps, Notes, Calendar, Contacts and more. In this article we have written a round-up of iPad Icons, psds and tuts on how to draw it. Hopefully it will help you in future projects.

iPad Tutorials
Not every tutorial is the same even if it’s made with the same program. Below are a few tutorials I came across that can help you create your own iPad.

In this tutorial by Callum Chapman you’ll learn how to design the Apple iPad in Adobe Photoshop step by step.

This tutorial will show you how to make the Apple iPad in Adobe Fireworks from scratch.
iPad PSDs

License: The Apple iPad PSD File File is licensed under the Creative Commons license and can be used for commercial and/or personal purposes.

Fully editable Apple iPad in PSD format. Every element you see is editable via vector masks. Everything is scalable.

Fully editable and scalable. The workable screen design is formatted to 768 × 1024 so anything you design in the Photoshop file can easily be brought over to the SDK.

Based off the exact overlays, outlines, and masks the iPhone and iPad OS use to mask icons, this template lets you preview the pre-supplied gloss, or modify it. It’s made up entirely of shape layers and layer effects and should be completely pixel-accurate. If you use it, credit is welcome — it’s not required, though.

4 different views of the iPad.

A simple iPad PSD for whatever your uses may be.
