In this tutorial I will show you how to create a very neat lens flare effect in Pixelmator. It’s true: the terrifying lens flare is back, and it can be really cool to use as wallpaper, as I’ve been doing.
This tutorial is part of series of tutorials I have been writing for the Pixelmator Learn site.
The wallpaper of this week was created by Brett Whatmough, a young and very talented graphic designer from the UK. Brett has a nice porfolio with some cool commercial works and also a set of impressive personal pieces where he shows his skills mixing light effects with photos and 3D elements.
I'm a 23 year old graphic designer from Guildford in Surrey. I have been involved in the graphic design industry for just over two years, and in that time I have produced various pieces of commercial and personal work.
The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
