The new season of Heroes is on and it's really good. While I was watching the last episode I saw the opening credits and I thought to myself, why I haven't done that effect yet. So I decided to create the Heroes eclipse effect in Photoshop with a litle extra retro style.
So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a nice eclipse effect using only Photoshop. We will add a texture in the end just to give that retro feel to the image.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Timothée Mathelin. A graphic designer from France. His influences are from everywhere, from skies to David Lynch and The Designers Republic to Baroque.
My main influences come from everyday’s life. Just a bird on a wire or a falling leaf from a tree... Every living motion gives me an inspiration of what is life and the wish to illustrate it. Lately, I’ve been really inspired by futuristic times and the imagination of new civilizations.

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.
