Super Bowl is always a great time to see some nice movie trailers and previews. One that caught my attention was for the new The Avengers movie. I am looking forward to watching this movie but I also was looking forward to trying to recreate that poster in Photoshop.
So in this tutorial we will show you how to create the shine effect of The Avengers poster using only Photoshop. We will pretty much play only with Layer Styles and the Brush Tool (B).
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Patrick Monkel, a freelancer graphic designer based in Culemborg, The Netherlands. Patrick runs a small design studio called Monk Design and have worked for clients such as Dunlop, WNF, Nationale Nederlanden, ING and Trespa.

The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
