At Abduzeedo, we have a posting place called “Typography Mania,” where we feature many amazing designs that were created by playing with Types. Inspired by that, I decided to use Pixelmator to create an abstract image made up of spheres and lights. I then used Blendings to mix this abstract effect within a text area to achieve the effect I wanted.
In this tutorial, we will play with brushes, blendings, hues, and saturation, as well as a few basic filters.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Alex Varanese, a graphic designer and creative director from San Francisco, USA. Alex has some really cool Typeface designs and an impressive portfolio with a beautiful retro feel.

The book of this week is a book I just got from a friend. It was in my wish list for a long time. The book is called Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information and as the reviews says, it's about our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it.
