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 created by Patrick Monkel, a freelancer graphic designer based in Culemborg, The Netherlands. Patrick runs a small design studio called Monk Design and have worked for clients such as Dunlop, WNF, Nationale Nederlanden, ING and Trespa.

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.
