In this tutorial I will show you how to create little planets using a regular photograph or a panoramic one and Photoshop. It's very a very simple technique but with a really cool end result.
Before we start let's take a look at the final result!
Step 1
Let's start with a regular picture. Just open it at Photoshop.
The wallpaper of this week is an amazing image created by Erik Schumacher, a German student currently studying Physics at the university of Dortmund, specialised in the fields of photomanipulation and space art, but always trying to broaden his skills into other areas such as matte painting and digital painting. Erik is contributor of the Slashthree collective as well.

The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it is an essential book for those starting out their design career or interested in learning the elements of this trade. The Elements of Typographic Style is the perfect book to start 2012 improving your design skills :)
