Designs on Boston
Even if you don't know Chip Kidd's name, I'm sure you know his striking book designs. He silhouetted a dinosaur for Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park" and stretched police tape across "Silent Witness" by Richard North Patterson. He's designed jackets for the books of dozens of well-known authors, from David Sedaris to Gish Jen, Cormac McCarthy, John Updike, and Elmore Leonard.
Now he's agreed to design a poster for the Boston Book Festival coming up on Oct., 24. (Full Disclosure: The Boston Globe is one of the festival's media sponsors.) I'm excited to see what he comes up with.
