Since we released Abduzeedo's new design, we've received quite a few emails asking for a tutorial showing how to reproduce the our logo effect. Actually since the first time we used that effect, on the Sparkling Hot Girl in Photoshop tutorial, a lot of people have asked us how to do that effect. So in this very short tutorial we will show you how to do that in Photoshop.
Step 1
Create a new document, use the size you want, it doesn't matter. Then fill the background with a very dark gray, #111111.
The wallpaper of this week is a really cool image created by Tom Lane, the guy behind Ginger Monkey. We have already featured him and his work here on Abduzeedo, and as he has just updated his portfolio he sent to us this beautiful wallpaper so we could share with the design community. Also we have added the iPad version to be downloaded.
For more information visit the Ginger Monkey website, it's definitely worth it.
The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
