In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a really nice effect from mixing a mosaic pattern with a photo. We will play around with masks and other basic filters, but the outcome will be very cool.
Step 1
Open Pixelmator, and create a new document. I am using a size of 1440×900 pixels. Fill the background layer with black, and import the cubes pattern texture by clicking here. Insert it into your design.
This week we will have a cool wallpaper from the AudioJungle Wallpaper contest. There were so many awesome designs and the winners are really good, however we decided to pick another one, a dark and cool wallpaper from Victor Sutardja . You can check out all the wallpapers at http://wallpapers.audiojungle.net/.
The book suggestion of this week is Illusive 2: Contemporary Illustration and Its Context. This book is really inspiring, there were some amazing illustrations and you can spend ours checking them out. Another amazing thing about this book is that you can always go back and there will always be something new.
