The new season of Heroes is on and it's really good. While I was watching the last episode I saw the opening credits and I thought to myself, why I haven't done that effect yet. So I decided to create the Heroes eclipse effect in Photoshop with a litle extra retro style.
So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a nice eclipse effect using only Photoshop. We will add a texture in the end just to give that retro feel to the image.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Genaro DeSia Coppola, an amazing and super talented illustrator from Barcelona, Venezuela. Genaro has this incredible 80's style. You will be able to see more of Genaro's work in the Abduzeedo Inspiration Guide for Designers as well.

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.
