In 2007 I wrote a Photoshop tutorial for PSDTUTS that was a user request, actually it was a request from not one but quite a few readers, they wanted to know how to create the MSNBC header effect. Back in those days it was a brand new design with a very colorful background image on the header. Now in 2010, they have a new website design and I was invited to help them with the background image.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Christopher Raymond, a 24 year old Boise based artist about to graduate in the fields of Design and illustration. Christopher is currently working in a studio called Yellow Box Studio as designer, illustrator and creative juicer during the day and diving into the deep end at night experimenting with different hand drawn and digital mediums.

The book suggestion of this week is a very inspiring one for those in love with vintage typography, it's called Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age. It's definitely a book for when you need some extra motivation and inspiration.
About the book
Elegant, quirky, fluid, brutish, ostentatious— a visual resource of cursives and other typefaces that resemble handwriting.
