Chip Kidd, God, and a Water Balloon
June 27, 2009 at 10:07 am Tina Hay 1 comment
Chip Kidd ’86, who once was called “the closest thing to a rock star” in the graphic design world, spends most of his time designing jackets for books by the likes of Cormac McCarthy, John Updike, Michael Crichton, and others.
But once in a while he gets pulled into another project. He did the illustration that will grace the cover of this Sunday’s New York Times Book Review. The illustration is for a story about the new book by Robert Wright called The Evolution of God.
In his blog, Chip Kidd explains how the project came about, how he tried to wiggle out of it, and how he ended up doing it after all.
