At Abduzeedo, we have a posting place called “Typography Mania,” where we feature many amazing designs that were created by playing with Types. Inspired by that, I decided to use Pixelmator to create an abstract image made up of spheres and lights. I then used Blendings to mix this abstract effect within a text area to achieve the effect I wanted.
In this tutorial, we will play with brushes, blendings, hues, and saturation, as well as a few basic filters.
The wallpaper of this week is from James White and it is simply awesome. James created this design for a poster for the Abduzeedo 3rd Anniversary. It's colorful and full of light effects, everything we here at Abduzeedo love and have posted about during this 3 inspiring years.
For more information about James White's work visit his website at http://www.signalnoise.com/, you won't regret it :)

The book suggestion of this week is really interesting especially for us designers that have to reach audiences with our work by trying to understand their needs. The book is called 50 Psychology Classics: Who We Are, How We Think, What We Do; Insight and Inspiration from 50 Key Books.
