Adobe has just released the CS5 family and you can download the trials including the new Photoshop CS5 Extended. With this new version we have the Repoussé feature which allows us to create 3D objects in Photoshop. The last tutorial I showed you how to create a simple extruded text, now in this tutorial I will show you the Inflate option in Repoussé.
The wallpaper of this week is a very cool design created by Matt Venhuizen, a graphic and web designer from Ontario, Canada. Matt runs a design studio called Venhuizen Studios. Matt sent the wallpaper suggestion via email and you can do the same ;)
For more information visit Matt's profile on Behance and stay tunned because the new Venhuizen Studios website will be up very soon.
The book suggestion of this week is a very inspiring one for those in love with vintage typography, it's called Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age. It's definitely a book for when you need some extra motivation and inspiration.
About the book
Elegant, quirky, fluid, brutish, ostentatious— a visual resource of cursives and other typefaces that resemble handwriting.
