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 is an image I created for a tutorial that will be published in the upcoming Abduzeedo book. It's a simple light effect playing with some photos, text and blend modes in Photoshop.
For more information about the Abduzeedo book just stay tuned here on the blog :)

The book suggestion of the week is a must have for those willing to design nice web sites and pretty much anything. It is called Ordering Disorder: Grid Principles for Web Design (Voices That Matter) and as the name says it is all about grid systems or the principles behind it.
