Following our series of Pixelmator tutorials, this week we will show you how to create an abstract wallpaper using the Quartz Composer filters. Even though the effect seems a bit complex, you will be surprise how easy is to create it in Pixelmator. It won't take you more than 10 minutes to reproduce this tutorial. And to make you really keen on doing that we will give away 2 copies of Pixelmator.
The wallpaper of this week is from Jonathan Wong, a graphic designer and illustrator from Ireland. He's also member of the depthCore collective. This image was created in collaboration with Pete Harrison (http://www.aeiko.net)
for Depthcore (http://depthcore.com).
The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
