This past Friday was the Abduzeedo meetup here in my hometown of Porto Alegre. It was really cool, we had a lot of fun and a lot of beers! When I was leaving I noticed the neon sign outside the pub and it really inspired me to create a tutorial on how to acheive that type of effect in Photoshop.
In this tutorial I will show you how to create a nice light effect in Photoshop. We will use Layer Styles and Blend Modes to simulate a neon text effect.
The wallpaper of this week is a very colorful image created by Fatkur Rokhim, a freelancer designer from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Fatkur is also known as "svpermchine" at his Deviantart profile and he sent this wallpaper to us, so if you have a wallpaper and you want it to be featured on the Wallpaper of the Week, just let us know. Send it via email to abduzeedo@abduzeedo.com

The book suggestion of the week is a must have for those willing to design nice web sites and pretty much anything. It is called Ordering Disorder: Grid Principles for Web Design (Voices That Matter) and as the name says it is all about grid systems or the principles behind it.
