This tutorial will demonstrate how to create great effect using Pixelmator. It is based on an image that I created two years ago using Photoshop. The idea is to mix a photo of a girl with some light effects, using basically default filters, brushes and blend modes.
The wallpaper of this week is from Genaro Desia, an illustrator also known as Surround with a simply incredible style. The 80's color scheme mixed with vectors and stars give to his work a very modern but at the same time retro feel in it.
The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
