Celebrating Halloween, Marcos Torres will show us how to create a sort of creepy composition playing with some textures, photos and blend modes in Photoshop. The name of this piece is called Sisters and it's perfect for this halloween time.
Step 1
First off, open Photoshop and create a new document. This new document should have 1680 x 1050 pixels. Now, I used an image of a wood texture, you can download it here. Open the photo and paste it on the 1680 x 1050 canvas.
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 a very inspiring one for those in love with vintage typography, it's called Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age. It's definitely a book for when you need some extra motivation and inspiration.
