This book, a work of great graphic interest in itself, presents the recent work of a designer described as a design demigod, and the closest thing to a rock star in graphic design. Called the world's greatest book jacket designer by the writer James Ellroy, Chip Kidd is universally recognized as an American master of contemporary book design and the most prolific cover designer in American design. At the forefront of a revolution in publishing, Kidd's iconic covers, in large part inspired by memorabilia and comics, have influenced an entire generation of design practitioners in many fields. This volume collects all of his book covers and designs from 2007 to 2017. We see not just hundreds of his recent projects, but his working processes behind them thoughts, sketches, revisions, and outright failures in addition to more than a few triumphs. The bestselling authors and clients he has worked with include Haruki Murakami, Cormac McCarthy, Orhan Pamuk, David Sedaris, Francis Ford Coppola, J.J. Abrams, DC Comics, and Paramount Pictures. Kidd leads the reader through each step of the design journey, culminating in a section on how to write and art direct a graphic novel, using as an example his bestselling Batman: Death by Design. With a continued passion for unconventional and forward-thinking designs, this volume is sure to bring fresh inspirations to design aficionados, book lovers, pop-culture fanatics, comics fans, and design students.
