Using the Shape Tool in Apple iWork suite of programmes is a great way to add interest to your writing, reports, letters, presentations and even books. But there is so much more that you can do with Shapes in Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Whilst there is a great collection of shapes, as Glen says: “Sometimes you just want something that isn’t there. Thats when I get creative and, either through combining shapes, or starting from scratch, I develop bespoke shapes or icons to illustrate the point”.

You can combine Shapes to make new, never-seen-before icons or use the Pen Tool on Mac to turn your photos into a Shape to use and re-use. Get creative with the Shape Tool and take your work to the next level.

This book is a walk-through of using shapes in Pages, Keynote and Numbers but then taking them further to create something unique with numerous examples of bespoke icons that you can follow along to create.
