Learn in this tutorial how to design an awesome wallpaper with Mac OS X logo.
Begin by representing a new file (File>New) that would have 1024×768 px and 72 dpi. Select next the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to paint the layer in black color. 
Next we’ll try to picture an apple’s silhouette with the Pen Tool (P). Its contour should be of black color. Next press Alt button and select the Ellipse Tool (U) to cut out a part of the fruit, as it is demonstrated below: The shape may be corrected with the Convert Point Tool. 
Try to represent above the apple’s silhouette a layer reserved for the figures, marking out the zone previously as it shown next picture. 
Keep pressed Alt button and make a mouse’s click between the text’s layer and the apple’s one (on the layers’ panel). The text’s layer will be applied in the apple’s limits. 
Mark out the earlier made layer, containing the apple’s silhouette and make a click on Add a Mask option on the lowest part of the layers’ panel. Select after that the Brush Tool (B) to erase the apple’s right side as it is demonstrated next picture: 
Create new layer and select the Pen Tool (P) to represent a silhouette of the leaf above the apple that is of black color too. The corrections on its shape may be done with the Convert Point Tool. 
Make a copy of the earlier made text’s layer and place it above the layer with the leaf (on the layers’ panel). Apply also the same operation we did earlier with the apple’s silhouette. It means we have to press once again the Alt button and make a click between the layers. 
Getting better result is possible when combining all the previous layers, except black background, in a group (press Ctrl button to mark out the necessary layers and keep pressed the left mouse’s button when taking the marked layers on Create a new group option). Apply the next shown parameters for the new group: Opacity 38% 
Create a new file (File>New) with 5×5 px and 72 dpi. Select now the Pencil Tool (B) to represent the pattern, colored with #C3561E
