One of the most popular tutorials I've ever written was the one for the image I use on my Twitter profile, that is a digital Bokeh effect created in Photoshop.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Max Spencer. Max is an UK based freelance illustrator and graphic designer also member of the fantastic depthCORE art group. We have already interviewed him here on Abduzeedo and you can check out the interview here.

The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
