More than two years ago, I created an image of a digital bokeh using Pixelmator that became incredibly popular on the Internet. I easily created the image using Pixelmator’s filter, which was new at the time, called Defocus. I simply applied the filter and added a gradient overlay layer to create the effect. Therefore, in this tutorial, I will show you how to create a bokeh effect in a slightly different, but simple manner to achieve a beautiful outcome.
Step 1
Open Pixelmator and fill the background layer with a very dark grey color (#0a0a0a).
The wallpaper of this week is the artwork for the FITC 2012 Amsterdam , the image was created by Ars Thanea with art direction of Peter Jaworowski and Michal Dziekan in the digital art.
FITC Amsterdam has played host to a program focused on design, technology and cool shit for the last four years, and 2012 is no exception. As technology continues to evolve, this event has evolved right alongside it, educating, challenging and inspiring attendees to set the bar even higher
The book of this week is Poke the Box. Written by Seth Godin, Poke the Box is very inspiring and motivating about initiating and shipping. It makes you think about so many things and makes you want to make things happen.
If you're stuck at the starting line, you don't need more time or permission. You don’t need to wait for a boss’s okay or to be told to push the button; you just need to poke.
