The Learners: A Novel par Chip Kidd
I love Chip Kidd, his book designs are ground breaking, and he's just general an awesome seeming person. So, I was pretty jazzed to read his fiction. It's an interesting little story too, filled with design nerdery plus this look into the darker areas of human experience by way of the famous Milgram obedience experiments. I enjoyed the read, but at the end I can't help but feel it was maybe a bit lacking in some areas. Not quite fully fleshed out perhaps. Still, I hope Kidd keeps at it.
This is a book I equate with the essence of the best parts if high school. It got passed all around (as a great book should be), and it felt like pretty much required reading for the teenage, slightly self-conscious art students we were.
I let a couple of English majors take a crack at it recently, and they brought up some good points about its flaws. Still a classic, and still worthy of reading if only for the gloriousness that is Winter Sorbeck.
(Fair warning: there is one, infamous part that gets downright weird.)… (plus d'informations)

A good primer on graphic design for kids (but really anybody) who would like to have a little basic know-how for making something look good. These days, we all have to be a graphic designer at some point, so we may as well carry a few ideas with us about typography, color, negative and positive space, and so forth.

What a perfectly lovely book to page through on a cold, sunny afternoon! This oversized collection is a must-see/ must-read for Peanuts fans. It's just gorgeous.
Chipp Kidd and co. used photographs taken of Schultz's work at the Charles M. Schultz museum in Santa Rosa, California to assemble a visual timeline of his artistic career. The strips they chose and the accompanying photos and text all came together to create a moving portrait of a man doing what he loved and leaving an unforgettable mark on the world. There's a quote at the end of the book from Schultz:
Well, I've certainly gotten a lot of joy from Peanuts, and I learned several new things about Charles M. Schultz from this book.
I advise getting your hands on a copy, finding something to prop it on, and losing yourself in it until you're finished.… (plus d'informations)

I would be satisfied if they wrote on my tombstone, "He made people happy."
