Join AIGA SLC for the keynote speaker for Salt Lake Design Week, Chip Kidd, presented by Adobe. During this evening, Chip will be discussing “Book Jackets I Have Known and Loved.”
Here is a VIDEO of the lecture given by Chip Kidd at the INSIGHTS DESIGN LECTURE SERIES. This was filmed at The Walker Art Center on 3/28/2009.
The Walker Art Center is a catalyst for the creative expression of artists and the active engagement of audiences. Focusing on the visual, performing, and media arts of our time, the Walker takes a global, multidisciplinary, and diverse approach to the creation, presentation, interpretation, collection, and preservation of art.
The Book Designer Chip Kidd was recently honored with being a guest at the 2015 BEYOND TELLERRAND Conference that is held every year in Germany. The thing that’s pretty cool about this event is they document it with really great video coverage. Here is Chip Kidd’s speech he did and, surprisingly, everything went very well, ha ha!
The main focus was the question, “When should design be clear, and when should it be mysterious?” Chip also talks about the future of Graphic Design, mostly his career related to “Book Cover” design, and he also tries to figure out why the Huffingtom Post has called him, “The Meryl Streep of Book Design”… it’s crazy!
