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 an image I created for a tutorial for Digital Arts Magazine. The idea was to play around with some light effects, colorful but very subtle with a little bit of 80's style in it.
The tutorial will be available pretty soon, however you can start using the wallpaper, I'm using it on my iPad and iPhone and it looks awesome.
