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 amazing design created by Rik Oostenbroek specially for the Abduzeedo 4th Anniversary. If you don't know Rik, he is a 20 year old self taught Dutch digital artist with more than 5 years of experience. Rik has done work for clients such as Mazda, Panasonic, Volkswagen, Palm and others, and we are super happy that he presented us with this beautiful wallpaper, and also a poster, but that is a little secret for another post.

The book suggestion of this week is all about illustration and it's one of the books we check out when looking for inspiration. The book is called The Sourcebook of Contemporary Illustration. We highly recommend that you check it out.
