Last Saturday I was checking Dribbble for some inspiration when I came across this beautiful design created by a Portuguese designer called Emanuel Sa. It was an icon with some beautiful metal effects, so I decided to learn how to do that in Photoshop.
So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a nice metallic button using Layer Styles in Photoshop.
The wallpaper of this week is from Giovanni Tabolacci a great designer and illustrator from São Paulo Brazil. Brazil. Giovanni uses a Wacom tablet to create the basic sketch then Illustrator and Photoshop to add colors and textures producing some simply amazing illustrations. Below we can take a look at his design process.

The book suggestion of this week is about branding and it's a recommendation from one of our favorite graphic designers out there, Roger Oddone. The book is called Designing Brand Identity: An Essential Guide for the Whole Branding Team and it covers everything you need to know about branding, from its definition to how come up with the most efficient strategy.
