An hour with Chip Kidd

NOTCOT points to a pre­sen­ta­tion by designer Chip Kidd who is respon­si­ble for, among other things, some of the loveli­est book jacket designs I’ve ever seen.

In the talk at Uni­ver­sity of Michi­gan, Chip takes the audi­ence through a num­ber of his designs. He talks about the reac­tions they received from his clients (both good and bad), the com­pro­mises and the end results.

As an insight into the cre­ative busi­ness, it’s price­less with some laugh out loud moments.

The pre­sen­ta­tion is avail­able free for down­load via iTunes (sadly not on YouTube so I can’t embed it).

Take a look.
