Adobe has just released the CS5 family and you can download the trials including the new Photoshop CS5 Extended. With this new version we have the Repoussé feature which allows us to create 3D objects in Photoshop. The last tutorial I showed you how to create a simple extruded text, now in this tutorial I will show you the Inflate option in Repoussé.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Bastien Allard, a graphic designer from Montbeliard, France. Bastien has some really cool works on his portfolio and sent this very nice black and white composition called Fancy Work.
For more information I highly recommend that you check out Bastien's portfolios at DeviantArt and Behance.
The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
