Since my last article on how to create smoke generated lots of traffic, I decided to write another one on some of the photoshop effects. Although I use Photoshop on a daily basis, I am by no means a photoshop expert.
Well what I want to show here is how to create a nice light and magic effect.
1 - Create a radial gradient, in this case from a purple to a really dark purple
The wallpaper of this week is from our tutorial Hell of Tutorial in Photoshop. You can also do the tutorial and create your own wallpaper or just let your desktop burn with the wallpaper of the week ;)

The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
