In this tutorial, I will show you how to create an aluminum texture and a 3D pattern effect, using very simple techniques. This method is useful for designing modern and stylish interfaces or simply fashioning a mockup for the next MacBook Pro or an aluminum iPhone.
The wallpaper of this week is super cool, it's an image from the new depthCORE chapter called HEIST. It was created by Theo Aartsma from Sumeco, http://sumeco.net, a Dutch designer with an impressive portfolio.
The book suggestion of the week is a must have for those willing to design nice web sites and pretty much anything. It is called Ordering Disorder: Grid Principles for Web Design (Voices That Matter) and as the name says it is all about grid systems or the principles behind it.
