A few days ago I took sometime to try some tutorials I read such as the really cool Dramatic Text on Fire Effect in Photoshop by Collis from PSDTUTS, and put some 3D typography ideas into practice. My idea was to create a 3D text with fire coming from the inside of the document like a hole.
Step 1
The first thing you will have to do is create the 3D text. To do that you can use Illustrator. It has a very nice 3D filter and it will work just fine.
The wallpaper of this week a beautiful and colorful image created by Diego L. Rodriguez, a young creative and digital artist based in Spain. Diego is developing digital arts since 2006 and he's titled in Audiovisual Production & Digital Photography. Nowadays he continues producing experimental & personal projects mixing Photography and Digital Art. Also he collaborates with some Art Collectives as slashThree & IntrinsicNature.
For more information visit Diego's website at http://ParanoidMe.com/, it's definitely worth checking it out.
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.
