Today I'm going to show you how to make a nice looking wallpaper in Photoshop. It includes how to make very nice looking leaves, waterdrops and subtle background effects. Enjoy!
Step 1: The Beginning
First open a new document of your screen size, I used my own resolution, which is 1440x900 pixels.
When you've did that, choose 2 nice blue colours, the I used #0090ff as foreground and #003ebd as background colour.
The wallpaper of this week is from an artist we have already featured on Abduzeedo, Lionel Charpentier, a 24 years old french graphic artist. Lionel runs a website called Electricmanja where he showcases some beautiful images mixing photos, drawings and other elements.

The book suggestion of the week is a must have for those willing to design nice web sites and pretty much anything. It is called Ordering Disorder: Grid Principles for Web Design (Voices That Matter) and as the name says it is all about grid systems or the principles behind it.
