Photoshop CS5 Extended comes with 3D capabilities and I believe that is not any news to the majority. We have been publishing some tutorials exploring the 3D tool in Photoshop especially the Repousse in which we can create extrusing and other geometries directly in Photoshop. This video is another super cool tutorial send by Stacey Deonanan.
So in this tutorial Stacey will show us how to create a incredible star using Repousse in Photoshop. The outcome of this effect is awesome, sort of abstract and I don't have any idea how she came up with those values to create the star.
The wallpaper of this week is from Giovanni Tabolacci a great designer and illustrator from São Paulo Brazil. Brazil. Giovanni uses a Wacom tablet to create the basic sketch then Illustrator and Photoshop to add colors and textures producing some simply amazing illustrations. Below we can take a look at his design process.

The book suggestion of this week is for those out that love posters, I believe everyone. The book is calledWar Posters: Weapons of Mass Communication and as the name says it's all about war posters. It is divided by wars and you can get tons of inspiration from it.
