We have already published tutorials on how to create a really cool light effect in Photoshop and GIMP, now In this tutorial, I will show you how to create this super, simple light effect inspired by a design that I saw recently in a Sony advert.
Step 1
Open Pixelmator and create a new document. Select 1440×900 pixels and then fill the layer with #121212.
The wallpaper of this week is really cool space scene created by Patrick Monkel, also known as Monk. Patrick is a graphic designer from The Netherlands, with great sense of color usage and a repertoire of nice light effects in his compositions.

The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
