Following our series of Quick Tips, we have a nice video showing how to create a Typographic Portrait using Photoshop. There are other ways, one in particular is really cool too, it's using Flash. You can check it out at http://evan-roth.com/typo_illus.html
The wallpaper of this week is the image I created for the Hexagon Bokeh Effect in Photoshop tutorial and it's very similar to the one I have been using on my Twitter profile.
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.
