Decapitating Shadows

Chip Kidd is Awesome

September 15, 2007

I finally picked up Chip Kidd: Book One from the library the other day. You may not know his name, but if you read, you know his work. Kidd is a book designer for Knopf, and has designed some of the most well-known book covers in recent years (Jurassic Park, anyone?)

The book is incredibly funny, and although Kidd is almost a decade older than I am, his stories about high school and college are filled with music, ideas, and cultural references that are very relevant to my own tastes and experience. I may have to buy a copy of this book to enshrine forever on my coffee table.
