December is here, another year is ending and nothing better than creating a Christmas desktop wallpaper using Photoshop to celebrate that right? Well, maybe not.
Anyways I created this image using paths, the brush engine and layer styles in Photoshop. Besides that, I used some amazing Christmas Icons I found online at http://www.iconarchive.com/category/christmas-icons.html
The step-by-step tutorial will be posted soon at psdtuts.com, but below you can see and download the wallpaper in a 1440x900 version and the iPhone version.
The wallpaper of this week is really cool, it's an image from Brett Whatmough, a very talented digital artist from the UK. You can check some of his works on hist DeviantArt page at http://brettuk.deviantart.com/
Im currently working at Manchester United as a web designer/ graphic designer so most of my stuff there is mainly commercial. So when i get home it totally switches and i try really let my imagination go.
The book suggestion of this week is all about illustration and it's one of the books we check out when looking for inspiration. The book is called The Sourcebook of Contemporary Illustration. We highly recommend that you check it out.
