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 François Leroy, a graphic designer and illustrator from Paris, France. He studied traditional art in school in Paris. At the same time he started to be interested by digital art and it became a real passion to him.
I define myself fully in this dynamic generation for which internet and interactive are major words.

The book suggestion of this week is very inspiring, especially for those out there fans of LPs. The book is called The Art of the LP: Classic Album Covers 1955-1995 and it has a great variety of cover design styles from punk rock to pop all divided by thematic chapters.
