Photoshop CS5 Extended comes with 3D capabilities and I believe that is not any news to the majority. We have been publishing some tutorials exploring the 3D tool in Photoshop especially the Repousse in which we can create extrusing and other geometries directly in Photoshop. This video is another super cool tutorial send by Stacey Deonanan.
So in this tutorial Stacey will show us how to create a incredible star using Repousse in Photoshop. The outcome of this effect is awesome, sort of abstract and I don't have any idea how she came up with those values to create the star.
For this wallpaper of the week we have the design from the Super Cool Abstract Vectors in Illustrator and Photoshop tutorial. We chose the dark version because, as you might have noticed, we sort of love dark wallpapers. However if you want the other version you can download the 1920x1200 pixels version at http://flickr.com/photos/azeected/3001691313/
The book suggestion of this week is about branding and it's a recommendation from one of our favorite graphic designers out there, Roger Oddone. The book is called Designing Brand Identity: An Essential Guide for the Whole Branding Team and it covers everything you need to know about branding, from its definition to how come up with the most efficient strategy.
