Web Picks is a new series here on Abduzeedo. The idea of the articles is to choose a subject, and present photography, artwork, designs, illustrations and tutorials we find on the topic; and put them together. When designing we tend to forget to look at mediums other than the one we are currently working in. We hope this series will illustrate the many dimensions a single subject can have, and provide cross-format insight for each subject.
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a poster and also a tutorials for the upcoming Abduzeedo book. The book will be available soon and we will keep you posted, so stay tuned.
The idea behind this image was create a vintage style poster playing with the word ADBZ. It was sort of inspired by Mondrian from my earlier sketches.

The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
