Before I am able to deal with the perspective, I had to create the front side of the Computer. The main part with the monitor was easy, the base however took a few more minutes due to the shadow and light reflection. There is also a very small edge which gives the base a thin thickness. The camera on top, and the Apple logo were the final details in the end.
If you look closely, you can spot a few details which differ to each other. I am very sure that the Original was also made with a 3D program, since the light and shadow look a little more natural. I am still happy with my replica made with Illustrator.
As you can see on the panel, I had to set seven transitions to imitate the shadow of the base (edge not included). Afterwards I only had to create two more light reflections at both sides, and a few more transitions for the edge. So far, so good. But now it might get a little more tricky to turn the computer, since more edges will become visible from the side. Also the monitor has to be tilted in relation to the base.
