Last week I was checking out some of the Typography Mania posts, and got really inspired to try something new. So I decided to create an abstract composition with light effects and apply that as a texture of a text, everything done only using Photoshop.
So in this tutorial I will show you how to create an easy and super quick text effect in Photoshop. We will play with Brushes, Blend Modes, basic filters like Blur and Liquify, and also text.
The wallpaper of this week is from Christopher Haines and Rik Oostenbroek. Chris is a graphic designer from Perth Australia and have already interviewed Chris here on Abduzeedo. Rik is a young and very talented digital artist and graphic design from the Netherlands and of course we interviewed him as well over here ;). They created this amazing image and sent to us for the Wallpaper of the Week.
The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it's a great source of inspiration. The book is called New Vintage Type: Classic Fonts for the Digital Age and we have used it for reference in many tutorials here on Abduzeedo.
