I have posted about how to create the neon effect in Photoshop a couple of times, however I still get emails from readers asking me how I did the light effect I use on the Abduzeedo logo. So I decided to simplify the process and show you how to create the this effect in very simple steps using basically Layer Styles and a few brushes.
Step 1
Open Photoshop and create a new document. I'm using 1920x1200 pixels. Fill the background with black.
The wallpaper of this week is a very cool design called Compassion from Ginger Monkey Design, the home of Tom Lane & friends. They have just updated their portfolio with some amazing new works. It's definitely worth checking it out, and don't forget to use this exclusive wallpaper.
The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
