In this tutorial I will show you how to create a beautiful golden text in Pixelmator. It might be useful for your next Christmas design. We will use basic tools and gradients to mimic gold with this super easy technique. I also have writen a tutorial showing how to create the same effect but for Photoshop, you can find it at PSDTUTS.
A few days ago we published an article about Fabien Barral, a great digital artist and designer from Clermont-Ferrand, France. His work is really cool and fortunately for us, he sent us one of his images for the wallpaper of the week.
We highly recommend that you visit his websites, below we list some of his designs and also the link tho his sites.
The book suggestion of this week is a very inspiring one for those in love with vintage typography, it's called Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age. It's definitely a book for when you need some extra motivation and inspiration.
About the book
