Playing with text is one of the coolest things to exercise your skills with any software, at least in my opinion. You can try to make fire with the word fire or water effects with the word water. In my case today I will show you how to create a sweet cookie effect using Pixelmator.
In this tutorial we will show you how to create a nice text effect using basic filters and some stock images. The result is really good for the amount of time required to achieve it.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Jacob Bian, a digital artist and graphic designer from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The image mixes 3D objects with some light effects that are sort of retro and futuristic, something like from the 80s.
For more information about the video Jacob we highly recommend that you check out his Behance Profile at http://www.behance.net/flareationalist or his DeviantArt profile at http://flareationalist.deviantart.com/
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.
