Fans of the Designer Chip Kidd know he is famous for creating, among other things, the Jurassic Park Book Cover that eventually became the logo for the movie. Yes, we all love the famous Dinosaur silhouette that has graced many film tie-in products. Well, here are a few parodies of that logo we thought we would share and it’s crazy how much variety there is!

Oh yeah, this last photo is not really a “parody” picture but it’s an actual real-life tattoo that somebody got…WOW!

Lately, there has been a lot of buzz about the Classic American Novel, THE GREAT GATSBY by F. Scott Fitzgerald. We’re pretty sure it’s because of the newly planned movie coming out later this year but we really love the book so we thought we would do this Tribute. THE GREAT GATSBY was written in 1925 and the story takes place in America during the early 1920′s, a time known as “The Roaring Twenties”. Of course this was before the famous Wall Street Stock Market Crash of 1929 & the Depression that followed. To celebrate the book we have collected a few fun pictures and interesting pieces of history to share. This 1st graphic is a “Parody Cover” giving the book a name that is more about the basic message of the story, ha ha!

Next, here’s a wonderful example of some fine baking artistry, the jacket cover of the book… on a cupcake!

OK, on a serious note, here’s a very cool piece of Literary History. Here’s the original ad for THE GREAT GATSBY Book found in a 1925 issue of Princetonian magazine. It features a drawing of the Author, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Then, speaking of him, here’s a Postcard that he mailed to himself while on Vacation, so that he would remember the event ( ha ha! ). It’s kinda fun to see because it’s an excellent example of his Autograph.

Then, last but not least, is an INFOGRAPHIC showing a Map to the main Characters in the book and how they are all related to each other. If you have not read the book, and plan too, then please avoid looking at it as it might contain spoilers. But for the rest of us who have enjoyed the book it’s pretty funny!

OK, first off, we gotta say that this video might contain spoilers if you have not read the book yet. Here’s a wonderful “Book Review” Video that explains a true sci-fi classic, “Fahrenheit 451″ by Ray Bradbury. It’s a dystopian novel that the Author wrote in 1953 and has since become a must-read on many Book Lover’s Reading Lists. The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and Firemen burn any house that contains them. Sadly, Ray Bradbury recently died. But his extremely intriguing stories will live on forever.
