Yes! We can finally talk about it, ha ha! The Book Publisher, Workman Publishing, just released the Cover Photo and Release Date for Chip Kidd’s next brand-new book which will be titled, “GO: A Kidd’s Guide To Graphic Design”. You can look for it at your favorite Bookstore location around October 8th, 2013.

The basic concept is that this book is geared toward teaching “Graphic Design” to Children. Yes, school kids need to understand design concepts too but the book will also prove to be valuable to Adults as well. We’re talking about Graphic Design Students, Working Designers and other Creative Types. Chip Kidd opens the book with the following statement:

“CONGRATULATIONS, you have decided to open this book, even though you have no idea what it’s about, and the cover is weird and seemingly at cross-purposes and possibly even pretentious. But you opened it anyway. And you know what? That was a design decision. Yes indeed, whether you realized it or not, pretty much most decisions you make, every day, are by design…Take my word for it, you are a designer.”

Chip Kidd starts with the promise that everyone is a designer, and uses each page to show the reader why that is. Each spread explains and demonstrates a crucial introductory graphic design concept like: Form, Size, Scale, Repetition and Pattern, Color, Typography, etc.

HEY! Amazon has the hardcover book available for pre-order at a special price for a limited time:

This is just a quick post to share this photo of an amazing new product from Funko, it’s an EDGAR ALLAN POE Wacky Wobbler Nodder! Yes, a “Bobble Head” of POE… with a Raven! This is the 1st one in the series but let’s hope they make many more. I wanna see one of Hunter S. Thompson or Ernest Hemingway, ha ha!

Chip Kidd is set-up at the PANTHEON BOOKS/Random House Booth at this year’s 2012 San Diego Comic Con ( It’s Booth #1515, for more info please check out the NEXT APPEARANCE page, navigation tab is up top ). Every now & then he gets a chance to go looking around and can’t help but totally geek-out on all the cool brand-new Batman stuff that is EVERYWHERE! He’s been sending us some really great photos ( look for even more later ).

First up is a HUGE Promo Banner near the DC Comics Booth that features BATMAN AND ROBIN with artwork by Frank Quitely, beautiful!

Then, speaking of Advertising Banners, here’s another one for a new Batman Video Game future-release.

The next photo is a Batman Japanese Shogun Warrior-type Figure. This was made by FUNKO who just makes extremely excellent stuff. We think this figure is a SDCC Exclusive because it’s all “Black and White” ( the original one is color ).

Then we get to see a new “SUPERMAN VS BATMAN” Statue based on Frank Miller’s THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Graphic Novel. OK, we actually saved the BEST for last! Here is an Original “Marshall Rogers” Comic Art Page offered by some vendor. What torture!!
