We have been posting tutorials pretty much every week for the past 6 years. We believe tutorials are an amazing way to learn how to use the software we need to do our design work. But as you can see, software is just a part of the design process, important but without a good foundation and design principles you won’t be able to translate a good idea into a cohesive design...even if you are a master of Illustrator, Photoshop or any other software.
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a tutorial that will be published in the upcoming Abduzeedo book. It's a simple light effect playing with some photos, text and blend modes in Photoshop.
For more information about the Abduzeedo book just stay tuned here on the blog :)

The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it is an essential book for those starting out their design career or interested in learning the elements of this trade. The Elements of Typographic Style is the perfect book to start 2012 improving your design skills :)
