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 created by Sabine Ten Lohuis, a freelancer designer and illustrator currently based inRotterdam, Netherlands. She graduated from the visual arts academy Willem de Kooning in 2009 with a degree in illustration and a minor in painting. But she also has a great interest for animation and graphic design.

The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it's a great source of inspiration. The book is called New Vintage Type: Classic Fonts for the Digital Age and we have used it for reference in many tutorials here on Abduzeedo.
