After over three days of nonstop rain I decided to use that as inspiration for a new experiment in Photoshop. In 2007 I did a video tutorial showing how to create water drops in Photoshop, but it was only the video without any text instruction, so a lot of people have sent emails asking us to put a text version of the tutorial. I always thought that simply repeating the same tutorial wouldn't be cool so I tried to make a new effect and apply the water drops on it as well.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Bastien Allard, a graphic designer from Montbeliard, France. Bastien has some really cool works on his portfolio and sent this very nice black and white composition called Fancy Work.
For more information I highly recommend that you check out Bastien's portfolios at DeviantArt and Behance.
The book of this week is a book I just got from a friend. It was in my wish list for a long time. The book is called Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information and as the reviews says, it's about our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it.
