Last week we've linked the Tinysong site in our Sites of the Week. Beyond being a great app, it has an really well executed design, and I thought it would be a good idea to reproduce the same design and make a fireworks tutorial out of it.
For this tutorial we're not gonna apply any great effect or use a unknown tool, but only show you a simple way of making neat effects that will make the difference in a layout.
The wallpaper of this week is an amazing photo taken by Everaldo Coelho. If you don't know Everaldo, first of you should :) he is a design legend especially in the realm of UI and icon design. Everaldo is also senior designer at Apple and as we can see from this wallpaper a very talented photographer.

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.
