Brushes are very useful in Photoshop. We may create all sorts of effects, from clouds to grunge brushes and many others. In lllustrator it is no different, actually it's easier to create and use brushes than in Photoshop because you can preview how they will look and edit them in real time, what makes a big difference. Creating brushes is really simple: just drag a shape to the brush panels and that's it! You got yourself a brand new brush.

The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a project where the client asked me to play with lens flare. I know it's the most hated filter ever but we can create really nice thing with it as long we avoid the default settings. This image is also inspired by some videos of lens flares plugins for After Effects.
I will create a tutorial showing how I did that, it will be up soon.

The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it's a great source of inspiration. The book is called New Vintage Type: Classic Fonts for the Digital Age and we have used it for reference in many tutorials here on Abduzeedo.
