TOPIC: An Evening With Chip Kidd
DATE & TIME: Wednesday, September 16; 7:00 p.m.. - 8:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Minneapolis College of Art and Design (Auditorium 150), 2501 Stevens Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55404.

USA Today has called him "the closest thing to a rock star" in the world of graphic design. Time selected him as one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2008. His iconic book covers---from the famous T-Rex for Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park to designs for other literati such as David Sedaris and Cormac McCarthy---have helped spawn a revolution in the art of American book packaging. Join the Minnesota Book Publishers' Roundtable at our inaugural lecture of the 2009-2010 season, as we welcome legendary designer Chip Kidd back to the Twin Cities!

Note: this lecture will occur in the evening as opposed to our normal, lunch hour scheduling, and will be held in a new venue. Food and beverage will not be served. Seating is limited and this event is expected to sell out quickly.

OUR SPEAKER:

  • Chip Kidd is a graphic designer and writer living in New York City and Stonington, Connecticut. His first novel, The Cheese Monkeys, was a national bestseller and a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His first book, Batman Collected, was awarded the Design Distinction award from ID magazine. He is the co-author and designer of the two-time Eisner award-winning Batman Animated. His latest book, Bat-Manga!, presents the secret history of Batman comics in Japan. He is the editor-at-large for Pantheon. He has also written about graphic design and popular culture for McSweeney’s, Vogue, The New York Times, The New York Observer, Entertainment Weekly, Details, 2WICE, The New York Post, ID, and Print. His work for Alfred A. Knopf (where he is associate art director) has led many, including author James Ellroy, to call him "the world's greatest book jacket designer."
