I have received quite a few emails asking me how to create that sort of linen texture effect we see in the iOS on iPads and iPhones. I like that effect but had never stopped to think about how I could do that in Photoshop, so last week I decided to give it a try. For my surprise it was much easier than I thought.
So in this tutorial I will show you how to create the linen texture effect in Photoshop and also the metal/glass effect we see in the Apple logo in the iOS.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Andy Burdin, a Boise-based digital artist/graphic designer, with focuses on print and creative advertising illustration. Andy has some really cool artowrks on his website and this one he provided to us is called Fury.
For more information visit Andy Burdin's website (http://andrewburdin.com/).
The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
