This is a very simple effect to create a nice reflection. We have been asked a couple times to create so here is a very nice quick tips that you can use and abuse since it already is a big trend in web design and also very used for other types of design.
So, to start out I need an image to create the reflection, I'm going to use an iphone for this one, you can use whatever you like, this works out really well with icon and typography.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Timothée Mathelin. A graphic designer from France. His influences are from everywhere, from skies to David Lynch and The Designers Republic to Baroque.
My main influences come from everyday’s life. Just a bird on a wire or a falling leaf from a tree... Every living motion gives me an inspiration of what is life and the wish to illustrate it. Lately, I’ve been really inspired by futuristic times and the imagination of new civilizations.

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.
