Thursday Type: Steve Jobs, flying milk, & more

• Dylan Roscover has used typefaces from Apple ads to render a beautiful portrait of Steve Jobs. (Make sure to click the image to see a larger version.) [Via] Fair warning: seeing this portrait gave me weird dreams.
• To borrow from AJ Soprano, “What, no {freakin’} Papyrus??” Still, this take on photographers’ logos rings pretty true.
• Milk goes airborne to create letters in Jónas Valtýsson’s Sequences project.
• Yulia Brodskaya works in cutout paper, lending dimension to pretty swashes.

• Overviews & tutorials:
  • Photoshop forum user Phosphor has written up detailed tips for navigating through & editing text in PS.
  • On PSDTUTS, Alvaro Guzman has created A Comprehensive Introduction to the Type Tool.
  • Alex Beltechi shows How to Create a Richly Ornate Typographic Illustration in Photoshop.
