This Thursday, Chip Kidd will be presenting a lecture at the Snite Museum of Art. Mr. Kidd is an author, editor, and graphic designer who is best known for his clever book covers. He is currently an associate art director at Knopf where he designs on average 75 book covers a year. Publishers Weekly has said that his book covers are “creepy, striking, sly, smart, unpredictable covers that make readers appreciate books as objects of art as well as literature.” In addition to designing the covers of books, he has also written The Cheese Monkeys, The Learners, and Bat-Manga!

Mr. Kidd will also be meeting with Notre Dame design students to critique and give advice on their portfolios.
