So this tutorial will show you how we created the Abduzeedo V8 wallpaper using Illustrator CS6. Besides that, as you probably know, we always create tutorials for our artworks. The illustration uses only vectors, no textures, and simple set of vector effects using the blog colors.

To celebrate that we decided to create a little vector wallpaper for our V8. For this new design our goal was to simplify and make the design minimal and simple. That's our goal as the blog is not only to share inspiration but to experiment with new styles and technologies. It's our 8th design in the past 6 years, that means we change our design more than once every year. Last week we launched the new version of Abduzeedo.
