Last year we published a tutorial showing how to create a nice badge in Photoshop and Illustrator. Now we decided to do the same, or similar effect using Pixelmator and its new vector tools. The result is very good and there are some nice techniques to overcome the lack of some more complex shapes.
So in this tutorial we will show you how to create complex shapes in Pixelmator and add round corners to it. After that we will show you how to make it look like an old badge using textures and some basic filters and blending.
The wallpaper of this week is a beautiful illustration from Chris Halasca, an Art Director from Sydney, Australia and an Abduzeedo reader. We highly recommend you visit his website at http://www.chrishalaska.com/. Also we've received some really cool wallpapers from other readers, thank you very much and you will publish them soon. If you have a great image for our wallpaper of the week let us know.
