A short time ago Fabio wrote a tutorial showing us how to create an image inspired by Andy Gilmore's work. I really liked that technique and decided that it would be cool to do something like that in Fireworks as well.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Alex Beltechi for the 5th Anniversary of Abduzeedo. Alex Beltechi is an artist and designer based in the city of Oradea, Romania. Although a student at a Visual Arts University, he also teaches the tools of his trade through various blogs and magazines.
Alex frequently experiments with a wide range of tools and techniques, more recently culminating in illustrated typography. If he's not found scribbling design schemes, you may find him pestering the world with his amateur photography or slamming piano keys furiously.
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.
