I’ve seen some very nice images mixing photos with light effects and sparks. If you go to flickr in those Photoshop and Graphic Design groups you will see images with this effect. There’s a designer, I think he's Brazilian, who has some amazing designs using this style, his name is Leandro Demetrius and it’s really worth checking his work out.
Anyway, in this tutorial I will show you how to create an image using this technique.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Adam Spizak, an illustrator and designer with almost 13 years of experience in both online and print design. His main inspiration comes from music and books.

The book suggestion of this week is Illusive 2: Contemporary Illustration and Its Context. This book is really inspiring, there were some amazing illustrations and you can spend ours checking them out. Another amazing thing about this book is that you can always go back and there will always be something new.
