In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a typographic portrait using only Pixelmator. But what does that mean? A typographic portrait is a portrait composed of text. The technique is pretty simple. We will also play with Blending and basic filters.
Step 1
Open Pixelmator and create a new document (The size I used was 1440×900 pixels). Then fill the background layer with black.
This week we have another great design from Guilherme Marconi. He allowed us to create wallpapers from some works of his fantastic portfolio. So good for us. Also we recommend you to visit Marconi's website at http://brain.marconi.nu/. You won't regret.
Inspiration is everywhere, I believe everyone knows that but each one of us has some preferences or things that inspire more than others, in my case it's skateboard graphics. That's why the book suggestion of this week is about Skateboard Graphics. It's called New Skateboard Graphics. If you remember we ran a giveaway of this book 3 years ago, but I was checking it out again and had to add to our book suggestion list.
