Last week I've created a small site, and I developed a simple effect to the main image. I can't show you the site right now, because it's still unpublished. Btw, the image was pretty nice and simple to do, so now I will show you how to create in 7 steps this simple image, just using some textures, colors and, of course, color dodge!
STEP 1 - FIRST RECTANGLE
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a tutorial showing how to create an icon in Photoshop with some metal and light effects. I've been using this wallpaper for over two weeks and I really liked it and that is why I wanted to share with you.

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.
