I have written some Illustrator tutorials in which I've used the Blend Tool to create swirls and other shapes, but I have never used it to create a text effect. Then we received this email suggestion from one of our readers quite a few months ago asking us how to create that effect. I really like the text effect and decided to give it a try.
This week we will have a cool wallpaper from the AudioJungle Wallpaper contest. There were so many awesome designs and the winners are really good, however we decided to pick another one, a dark and cool wallpaper from Victor Sutardja . You can check out all the wallpapers at http://wallpapers.audiojungle.net/.
The book suggestion of this week is very inspiring, especially for those out there fans of LPs. The book is called The Art of the LP: Classic Album Covers 1955-1995 and it has a great variety of cover design styles from punk rock to pop all divided by thematic chapters.
