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 from Christopher Haines and Rik Oostenbroek. Chris is a graphic designer from Perth Australia and have already interviewed Chris here on Abduzeedo. Rik is a young and very talented digital artist and graphic design from the Netherlands and of course we interviewed him as well over here ;). They created this amazing image and sent to us for the Wallpaper of the Week.
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.
