I have posted about how to create the neon effect in Photoshop a couple of times, however I still get emails from readers asking me how I did the light effect I use on the Abduzeedo logo. So I decided to simplify the process and show you how to create the this effect in very simple steps using basically Layer Styles and a few brushes.
Step 1
Open Photoshop and create a new document. I'm using 1920x1200 pixels. Fill the background with black.
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 Illusive 2: Contemporary Illustration and Its Context. This book is really inspiring, there were some amazing illustrations and you can spend ours checking them out. Another amazing thing about this book is that you can always go back and there will always be something new.
