Last week I posted some articles about typography and received quite a few emails asking me to create a tutorial on text effects. So I decided to play a bit with Photoshop to create a nice sort of 3D effect using a calligraphy font and a lot of Layer Styles. The effect is really simple and we will take a look at how to create patterns and light effects with Blend Modes.

The wallpaper of this week is an incredible robot designed by Martijn van Dam, AKA Super Silo, a graphic designer at Momkai, an independent, interactive agency based in Amsterdam. We have already featured Super Silo on a previous article, Beautiful Flyer Designs by Super Silo.
The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it's a great source of inspiration. The book is called New Vintage Type: Classic Fonts for the Digital Age and we have used it for reference in many tutorials here on Abduzeedo.
