We always try to publish tutorials based on effects we like especially from movies, posters and other sources of inspiration.

Digital LCD effects are very common but they still impress me especially in terms of light effects. The way the light gets blurry on the edges and super strong in the center is simply amazing.

It's been quite some time now since the last time we've featured watercolor illustrations, which are by far one of or favorite illustration techniques. These illustrations usually get super stylish and very beautiful, just like these, by Thony Silas.

Expect the unexpected, nothing better than being inspired by something you have never seen or even thought about it before. Here are some really random and very cool stuff that I selected to brighten up your day. Enjoy!

A few weeks ago I watched The Artist. Since the first time I saw and read about the movie, I got curious about it, especially because it was a black and white movie.

Last year we published a tutorial showing how to create a nice badge in Photoshop and Illustrator. Now we decided to do the same, or similar effect using Pixelmator and its new vector tools.

One of the new features of Pixelmator 2 is the vector tools. You can create primitve shapes like rectangles, triangles, ellipses and edit them like in Illustrator or using paths in Photoshop.

Super Bowl is always a great time to see some nice movie trailers and previews. One that caught my attention was for the new The Avengers movie.

Playing with text is one of the coolest things to exercise your skills with any software, at least in my opinion. You can try to make fire with the word fire or water effects with the word water.

Pixelmator is a really cool tool for image manipulations and editing.

A few weeks ago I was having my Maker's Mark and decided it was time to do the wax effect they have on their brand using Photoshop.
