I have been working on the new Abduzeedo design and have had the chance to play more with CSS 3, even though it's not fully supported on all browsers we can start using some really cool features such as round corners, text-shadow, box-shadow, transitions and transformations. The major downside still is Internet Explorer, however it seems that the IE 9 will have a much better CSS 3 support and support those features.
The wallpaper of this week is really cool, it's an image from Brett Whatmough, a very talented digital artist from the UK. You can check some of his works on hist DeviantArt page at http://brettuk.deviantart.com/
Im currently working at Manchester United as a web designer/ graphic designer so most of my stuff there is mainly commercial. So when i get home it totally switches and i try really let my imagination go.
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.
