Color Dodge is one of the Blend Modes I use the most. It's in my opinion the easiest and best way to create light effects, and, even though I have already written quite a few tutorials showing how to use it, I decided to write a quick tips all about this very useful blend mode.
Because of that in this Quick Tips I will show you how it works. You can use this technique in all programs that have Color Dodge, such as GIMP, Pixelmator, Fireworks, and others.
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a tutorial for Digital Arts Magazine. The idea was to play around with some light effects, colorful but very subtle with a little bit of 80's style in it.
The tutorial will be available pretty soon, however you can start using the wallpaper, I'm using it on my iPad and iPhone and it looks awesome.

The holiday season is here and it’s time to get together with our family and friends, celebrate and get ready for the new year that is about to start. As we see sites with gift guides all over the web we decided to post the Abduzeedo 2011 Gift Guide because it’s always nice to start a new year extremely motivated. So in this first post I will list some books.
