Sunday is the day to play with Photoshop and try some new ideas. As usual I went through some books and Web sites to find some inspiration. I am still addicted to the Handy Book of Artistic Printing, it's a must have book for some old style print references. I got some ideas and also found this amazing image from Alex Beltechi on Dribbble called Twisting in the Wind. Then I new the effect I wanted to know how to create in Photoshop.
The wallpaper of this week was created by Brett Whatmough, a young and very talented graphic designer from the UK. Brett has a nice porfolio with some cool commercial works and also a set of impressive personal pieces where he shows his skills mixing light effects with photos and 3D elements.
I'm a 23 year old graphic designer from Guildford in Surrey. I have been involved in the graphic design industry for just over two years, and in that time I have produced various pieces of commercial and personal work.
As the name implies, this book (but I dare call a Bible) tells the story of graphic design in Brazil in a very intelligent way and brings a wealth of incredible images and with a touch of nostalgia for most Brazilians.
