This week we look at Designing books is no laughing matter. OK, it is. presented by graphic designer Chip Kidd. In this video we learn about the art of book cover design. Chip Kidd creates book covers that embody the book — and he does it with a wicked sense of humor. In one of the funniest talks from TED2012, he shows the art and deep thought of his cover designs.

    Nice sharing guy….Absolutely interesting video. Chip Kidd’s speech with interesting dance on book cover design could be very helpful. In video ‘DRY’ book cover design is really impressive.

    Thanks so much for sharing this talk! It’s a phenomenal insight into this specific niche of design, but more than that, an inspiring reminder of the little things we love about our craft. 17 minutes well spent!
