For the first tutorial of 2012 we wanted to have a really good one and the most important thing a very easy one because our goal for this new year is to provide good tutorials with simple techniques that achieve great outcomes. In this first case we will explore ways to create letterpress effect using Photoshop only.
So in this tutorial we will show you how to create a super easy and realistic letterpress effect using Layer Styles in Photoshop. The process is super simple and I am sure that you won't take more than 45 minutes to achieve the same result.
The wallpaper of this week is the image we created in the last Photoshop tutorial, the Medieval Metal Text Effect in Photoshop. This image looks really cool as wallpaper and you can always do the tutorial again changing the word Abduzeedo.

The book of this week is a book I just got from a friend. It was in my wish list for a long time. The book is called Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information and as the reviews says, it's about our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it.
