In this tutorial we're going to show you how to create a simple header effect in a few steps, and with some vector textures, try to create a little layout in Fireworks with 9rules.com as our reference. In part 2, we're gonna do the HTML/CSS to show you how this layout reacts to the browser!
STEP 1 - HEADER BACKGROUND
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a poster and also a tutorials for the upcoming Abduzeedo book. The book will be available soon and we will keep you posted, so stay tuned.
The idea behind this image was create a vintage style poster playing with the word ADBZ. It was sort of inspired by Mondrian from my earlier sketches.

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.
