The book designer and comics fan will hit the Society of Illustrators on Thursday 8/14.
The D2D folks sent along this info, so check it out:
Come Dare2Draw with Mentoring Guest Artist Chip Kidd!
Hosted by Simon Fraser
We’re delighted to have Chip joining us! He’ll be talking to us about best practices and his approach to art directing, designing books and writing.
Chip Kidd is a Designer/Writer in New York City (and Stonington, CT, and Palm Beach, FL). His book cover designs for Alfred A. Knopf, where he has worked non-stop since 1986, have helped create a revolution in the art of American book packaging.
