In this tutorial I will show you how to create a really cool effect. First, we will use basic filters to create a 3D text effect; then, we will blend some stock photos and textures to produce one hell of a wallpaper.
Step 1
The wallpaper of this week is a beautiful illustration created by Chris Haines, a designer and illustrator from Perth, Western Australia. We have already featured Chris a few times on Abduzeedo, but he has just updated his portfolio with some new and really cool works and sent us this wallpaper :)

The book suggestion of this week is very inspiring, especially for those out there fans of LPs. The book is called The Art of the LP: Classic Album Covers 1955-1995 and it has a great variety of cover design styles from punk rock to pop all divided by thematic chapters.
