Designing books is no laughing matter. OK, it is

Designing books is no laughing matter. OK, it is


愛書人，
不可錯過的演講。
Chip Kidd分享他多年來為書設計封面的寶貴經驗。
非常有趣，
知性。
他指出They all need to look like something. They all need a face. Why? To give you a first impression of what you are about to get into. A book designer gives form to content, but also manages a very careful balance between the two.
暢銷電影及小說
Jurassic Park (侏羅紀公園)，
書的封面那隻恐龍，
即是由他設計。

他在演說中說了設計的靈感及其影響力。
他感觸地說：
That's a responsibility. And it's a responsibility that I don't take lightly. The book designer's responsibility is threefold: to the reader, to the publisher and, most of all, to the author. I want you to look at the author's book and say, "Wow! I need to read that.
他也感觸地說
電子書: ease, convenience, portability.
但是...something is definitely lost: tradition, a sensual experience, the comfort of thingy-ness -- a little bit of humanity.
電子書，
少了書香，
翻頁，與書頁相接觸的感覺，
圈記，
閱讀隨筆，
這些愛書者的喜好。
書的封面，
許多故事。
