Today I'm going to show you how to make a nice looking wallpaper in Photoshop. It includes how to make very nice looking leaves, waterdrops and subtle background effects. Enjoy!
Step 1: The Beginning

When you've did that, choose 2 nice blue colours, the I used #0090ff as foreground and #003ebd as background colour.
The wallpaper of this week is a beautiful image created by François Hoang in collaboration with James White. François is a very talented 25-year-old self-taught freelance graphic designer from Montreal, Canada. With this wallpaper he won the Abduzeedo World Collabs 3: James White. His design was selected among more than 80 designs from all around the globe.
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.
