Since I was a kid, I wasn't really good at playing with colors, now that I grew up I decided to embrace this characteristic on my work. I've being trying to push more and more my black and white style and so I decided to create the "Two Bloody Weeks Project". Personal projects are quite good to experiment and being able to focus on some ideas and styles. So today I'm going to share one of the results of my latest personal project.
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a project where the client asked me to play with lens flare. I know it's the most hated filter ever but we can create really nice thing with it as long we avoid the default settings. This image is also inspired by some videos of lens flares plugins for After Effects.
I will create a tutorial showing how I did that, it will be up soon.

The book suggestion of this week is about colors, one of the most important skills for any designer. The book is called Color Design Workbook: A Real World Guide to Using Color in Graphic Design and it's not only a very useful book, it's a very well designed one.
