Episode 169: Chip Kidd at the Miami Book Fair
Category: News & Politics
Duration: 00:37:43
Publish Date: 2015-12-02 12:44:08
Description:

Chip Kidd is a book designer and author. His most recent book is Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts.

“The curious thing about doing a book cover is that you're creating a piece of art, but it is in service to a greater piece of art that is dictating what you're going to do. I may think I've come up with the greatest design in the world, but if the author doesn't like it, they win. And I have to start over.”
