Last week I posted some articles about typography and received quite a few emails asking me to create a tutorial on text effects. So I decided to play a bit with Photoshop to create a nice sort of 3D effect using a calligraphy font and a lot of Layer Styles. The effect is really simple and we will take a look at how to create patterns and light effects with Blend Modes.

Another week and another great wallpaper for you. This week is very special because it's a another fantastic design created by Guilherme Marconi, this time however he designed the wallpaper with the user needs in mind, it's darker and with less elements, simply perfect.
For more information about Marconi's work, visit his new website with an updated portfolio and much more at http://marconi.nu
The book suggestion of this week is really interesting especially for us designers that have to reach audiences with our work by trying to understand their needs. The book is called 50 Psychology Classics: Who We Are, How We Think, What We Do; Insight and Inspiration from 50 Key Books.
