Pixelmator is a very powerful image editor; you can create all sorts of effects using it. Because of that I decided to recreate some images and tutorials that I previously did using Photoshop in Pixelmator. You will see that you can do pretty much everything with Pixelmator, and usually faster.
This tutorial is very useful for beginners or those users willing to learn how to use Pixelmator. You will learn how to create light effects, text effects and other nice tricks.
The wallpaper of this week is a very cool illustration created by Anna Anjos, a graphic designer and illustrator from São Paulo, Brazil. Anna started very young creating the internal drawings of her mother's book.
Since her early days she preferred pencils and papers than conventional toys. Her first work was at age 10 where she had the opportunity to create the internal drawings of her mother's book.
We highly recommend that you check out Anna Anjos' website
The book of this week is a book I just got from a friend. It was in my wish list for a long time. The book is called Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information and as the reviews says, it's about our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it.
