A couple of very interesting tutorials that will show you how to create typographic portraits. I have sorted the tutorials from easy to more difficult (which also implies from less to more complex and striking):

- Grove, Stacey. “Typographic Portraits.” Advanced Photoshop 6 Sep. 2009: 44-47.
- Sergio. “Typographic Portrait like Grammy’s Posters | PSDTOP Blog – Design Tips, Photo Effects, Icon Creation, Special Effects and Links.”Adobe Photoshop Tutorials – Design Tips, Photo Effects, Icon Creation, Special Effects and Links, PSD tuts, PSD. 9 Jan. 2009. 27 Oct. 2009 <http://www.psdtop.com/blog/photo-effects/typographic-portrait-like-grammys-posters/>.

If you’re new to the MLA format to refer to sources of information, try the free online services
They’ll help you ensure that your bibliography/works cited list is in the correct format. Just fill in the information you know about the source, they help you with the rest.
For more detailed information check these resources from
-
The Monroe Community College Guide to Writing Research Papers – MLA style section (great concise reference – a must check!)
-
MLA Formatting and Style Guide – The OWL at Purdue
-
MLA Citation Style @ the Cornell University Library
-
Dallas County Community College
- Northland Community and Technical College
I have also found a very interesting blog about information literacy called BiblioTech Web.
