Pixelmator Tutorial Recreates iPhone X Logo Effect
A Pixelmator tutorial published on October 2, 2017, demonstrates how to recreate the colorful logo effect of the iPhone X. The tutorial, created by an unnamed author, uses Pixelmator's Light Leak effect (specifically the Nebula option) and additional brushwork to mimic Apple's design. The process involves creating a new document, adding the letter X with Avenir Bold font (as Myriad Pro was unavailable), filling a layer with dark blue, masking the X, applying the Nebula Light Leak effect, and adding highlight colors with Color Dodge blending mode. The tutorial notes that the effect is 80% complete after the Light Leak step and suggests further enhancements with other effects like Floor. The author expresses excitement for the upcoming Pixelmator Pro and invites suggestions for future tutorials.
