Chip Kidd is known to be a master in contemporary book jacket design. To the left is one of his designs used for his own book.
At only 43 years of age he has made over 1500 book covers in his career. He averages about 75 in a given year.
Kidd is an avid Batman memorabilia collector. This obsession has gone into his designing many Batman and Superhero covers.
Even a few novels.
The one to the left is a somewhat “coming-of-age” novel describing a few semesters at college.
In this cover, Kidd has used images of two men and a female in the middle. This corresponds great with the story of the book, which is a “love triangle”.
Here we see Kidd’s wittiness by using a fork and spoon in a napkin, trying to portray a husband and wife in bed.
In 1997 Kidd won the International Center of Photography award for use of photography in his designs.
Chip Kidd will continue to
amaze us with his excellent designs, and will inspire
graphic designers for
years to come.
