The wallpaper of this week is an incredible robot designed by Martijn van Dam, AKA Super Silo, a graphic designer at Momkai, an independent, interactive agency based in Amsterdam. We have already featured Super Silo on a previous article, Beautiful Flyer Designs by Super Silo.
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.
