In this tutorial I will show you how to create a really nice light effect using basic filters and tools in Pixelmator. The idea is to create an image with that 80s feeling in it but modern as well.
Step 1
Open Pixelmator and create a new document. The size I am using is 1440×2000 pixels. After that, import a photo of a girl; the one I’m using is courtesy of Shutterstock and you can find it here.
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a tutorial a few weeks ago to play and learn how to create some metalic buttons in Photoshop. I also used some textures and apply a chrome text effect.
For more information and to learn how to do this effect check out the Awesome Amp Controls in Photoshop tutorial.

The book suggestion of this week is the next one in my list and I will start reading it this weekend. It's called Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things. I have been waiting to read this book for a while. I got it a few weeks ago as a present and now it's the right time. Below I will list some info about the book.
