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 a design created by Alexander "Diftnorm" Otto called Trust in Magic, and it was done fore the Keystone Design Union (KDU). Look closer and you'll find a lot of detailed objects in it.

The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it is an essential book for those starting out their design career or interested in learning the elements of this trade. The Elements of Typographic Style is the perfect book to start 2012 improving your design skills :)
