In this tutorial I will show you how to create a very neat lens flare effect in Pixelmator. It’s true: the terrifying lens flare is back, and it can be really cool to use as wallpaper, as I’ve been doing.
This tutorial is part of series of tutorials I have been writing for the Pixelmator Learn site.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Jacob Bian, a digital artist and graphic designer from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The image mixes 3D objects with some light effects that are sort of retro and futuristic, something like from the 80s.
For more information about the video Jacob we highly recommend that you check out his Behance Profile at http://www.behance.net/flareationalist or his DeviantArt profile at http://flareationalist.deviantart.com/
The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it's a great source of inspiration. The book is called New Vintage Type: Classic Fonts for the Digital Age and we have used it for reference in many tutorials here on Abduzeedo.
