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 an image created by Magomed Dovjenko, a very young thought talented illustrator and designer based in Cologne, German. He just updated his portfolio with new work like his "Help Japan" poster.
The book suggestion of the week is a must have for those willing to design nice web sites and pretty much anything. It is called Ordering Disorder: Grid Principles for Web Design (Voices That Matter) and as the name says it is all about grid systems or the principles behind it.
