I was browsing the other day and saw a Sony-Ericsson Xperia X1 with a beautiful wallpaper on it and thought to myself "Can I make one that looks like it but using only GIMP?"
And guess what? I could! And with this tutorial so can you.
Step 1
We first create a new document, you can make it any size, though I used 1600 x 1200. Setting by default Black as your Foreground color, we can ask in the advanced options to use it as our background.
The wallpaper of this week is from Mathias Townsend, a designer and illustrator from Porto Alegre, Brazil. We have already featured Mathias on a previous article, and he, kindly, sent us a wallpaper to share with the community.

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.
