Judge This Cover

Product Information

Chip Kidd is an American author, editor and graphic designer, best known for his innovative book covers. Now, all that said, the first half of this book is really interesting, posing objects and art on a scale from instantly recognizable and understandable to confusing and something that leaves the viewer pondering. The first part of the book asks a really good design question: Do I want this design to provide instant recognition and clarity (subway map) or do I want this design to intrigue someone (movie poster). My dad was an alcoholic who was always in and out of jail for drinking and driving, so he was never around. Typical, right? Girls without dads grow up to be the biggest whores because the first man who is supposed to love a young girl, doesn’t. Isn’t that how that narrative goes? We’re in search of something, but we can’t quite place our finger on exactly what it is because we’ve never had it. Para finalizar, hace hincapié en la imagen personal, en cuanto que defiende que todos debemos ser capaces de ser claros en esta vida con nosotros mismos y con los demás. Importante también que sepamos y tengamos presente cómo nos percibe el mundo exterior.

After eight years of living with my mom in Ohio, she randomly asked all of us if we wanted to move to Mississippi where my grandparents lived. My grandparents left Ohio because my grandpa found a job with better pay in Mississippi. Of course, we said yes! What child doesn't love their grandparents who spoil them rotten? Little did we know, our mom didn’t want to be a mom. She dropped us off at our grandparents’ house and we only saw her when she’d occasionally pop in to say hello. She often promised us things like outings to the movies or the zoo, but she almost never followed through on these promises. Even as children, my siblings and I would give her chance after chance to prove that each time would be different from the last, but the change we wanted never came. That constant fear of disappointment is something I still grapple with as an adult. I never hope for anything with too much excitement. I keep those feelings of anticipation at bay as a way to protect my heart from disappointment. As children, we are burdened with this nagging curse of unconditional love that binds us to these people who created us no matter how much they hurt us. The yearning for their love is constant. I enjoyed reading this book much more than I was expecting to. I found that I can relate to her in the fact that her story seems tied up in other people, yet she’s fiercely independent and can completely stand on her own. She is such a captivating human, and the way she loves is unique and passionate. All these stories have clearly affected her life quite a bit, and love makes you do crazy things. Chances are that if you really like books, then you've seen Chip Kidd's work as a graphic designer at some point in the past (note that the previous link to Wikipedia is woefully incomplete as Mr. Kidd's portfolio is staggeringly prolific.). And if you enjoy social media and fancy yourself an intellectual or just plain curious, than you have likely already know what a TED talk is. Maybe you've even seen/heard Mr. Kidd's spiel on design already (I have not). Whatever. This book is purportedly a distillation and continuation of the author's exposition on design for TED. The focus is somewhat firmly set on cover art meant to represent the works of other artists (typically artists). Me quedo con esta frase: "La claridad transmite el mensaje" y me quedo también con la reflexión del propio autor de que, esta forma de pensar y de juzgar, podemos aplicarla todos en nuestro día a día. Ya que no es necesario ser un diseñador gráfico para resolver un problema. Problemas tenemos todos, solo tenemos que saber analizarlos y encontrar la solución adecuada, la que nos permita conseguir lo que buscamos.TED που διαβάζω, και σίγουρα δεν θα είναι το τελευταίο. Όχι μόνο γιατί μου άρεσε σε μεγάλο βαθμό το βιβλίο αυτό, αλλά γιατί το όλο πρότζεκτ με τις ομιλίες και τα βιβλιαράκια που τις συνοδεύουν είναι σίγουρα αρκετά ενδιαφέρον και μπορεί να δώσει μπόλικη τροφή για σκέψη και προβληματισμό. Ο Τσιπ Κιντ είναι ένας καταξιωμένος γραφίστας και σχεδιαστής εξώφυλλων δεκάδων βιβλίων και αφισών για ταινίες (μπορείτε να ψάξετε στο ίντερνετ για να δείτε ποια εξώφυλλα έχει σχεδιάσει). Και όχι μόνο. Kidd is currently associate art director at Knopf, an imprint of Random House. He first joined the Knopf design team in 1986, when he was hired as a junior assistant by Sara Eisenman. Judge This เป็นหนังสือเล่มบางๆ ที่เสนอแนวคิดของการออกแบบของเขา ระหว่างการออกแบบที่ชัดเจนแทนเ��รื่องหมาย ! และ การออกแบบที่ลึกลับด้วยการใช้เครื่องหมาย ? การออกแบบบางอย่างนั้นจำเป็นต้องสื่อสารอย่างชัดเจน แต่งานบางอย่างเช่นปกหนังสือ อาจจะต้องผสมความลึกลับเข้าไปด้วยเพื่อให้เกิดความน่าสนใจ

El autor de !Juzga esto! se centra en dos ideas fundamentales para darnos su visión sobre el tema: la claridad y el misterio. Chip Kidd nos va explicando a lo largo del libro con ejemplos gráficos reales, cómo se interpretan las cosas desde su perspectiva de diseñador gráfico de cubiertas de libros. Así como, nos muestra la esencia y nos expone la manera de mirar ejemplos de arquitectura o productos americanos; también nos disecciona sus propios proyectos editoriales explicándonos por qué y con qué intención diseña unas portadas u otras. Take the billing on movie posters for example. I never knew that, by union contract, the names had to a certain size on the poster. Or, that there's a clearer font that could be used for improving the clarity of the names so that they can be read from further away, but it's never used. Who knew! My name is Brittany Renner and the first time I ever felt passionate about anything was when I decided to write a book at age 25. Who knew IG thots have the mental capacity to read and write? Baffling, isn’t it? This story is my unmasked truth. Regardless of how you interpret what you’re about to read, I am not sorry now nor will I ever apologize for my feelings. I am entitled to my feelings - good, bad, or indifferent - all while still knowing, at any point in time, they may evolve and change. I choose to proudly stand by my emotions even when they fail to be politically correct. The truth is not always glamorous, but it shouldn’t have to be. La premisa de esta charla TED (en libro) es que no importa tanto el hecho de que juzguemos el mundo o a las personas, sino el cómo los/as juzgamos.

His dissection of the Diet Coke can and ad campaign was another of my favorite moments. Kidd comes off as funny as well as highly knowledgeable- one of the best combinations in my opinion. Chip Kidd คือนักออกแบบปกหนังสือระดับเปิดร้านส้มตำก็ไม่มีใครอยากเป็นลูกค้า เพราะเป็นตำนาน (...) เขามีงานสำคัญๆ อย่างโครงกระดูกไดโนเสาร์บนหน้าปก Jurassic Park ของ Michael Crichton ภาพโครงกระดูกนั้นก็ได้กลายเป็นไอคอนที่เป็นที่จดจำของซีรีส์นี้ หรือ 1Q84 ที่ปกหน้าเป็นอาโอะมาเมะ แล้วมีกระดาษซ้อนซ่อนหน้าตัวละครและเน้นคำว่า 1Q84 อีกชั้นนึง เป็นปกนึงที่เห็นบ่อยเลย If you enjoy Judge This, I'd recommend Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google That Will Transform How You Live and Lead (Google reveals its elegant methods of internal organization) and The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere (another TED talks book but about meditation instead of art design).

Kidd เขียนหนังสือเหมือนนั่งคุยกับเรา มันไม่ใช่หนังสือเรียนการออกเเบบ ไม่จำเป็นต้องมีความรู้ด้านการออกเเบบก็อ่านได้เข้าใจ เเละ Kidd ยังทิ้งท้ายบอกเราอีกว่าทุกอย่างรอบตัวคือวัตถุดิบชั้นเลิศในการออกเเบบ ขอเพียงเรารู้ว่าจะใช้งานมันได้ยังไงเท่านั้นเอง And I'll say this. It wasn't until it was totally explained to me that I knew what the hell was going on with Colorless Tsukuru by Murakami. I didn't know there was a hand, I didn't know the different colors represented different characters. I guess it's interesting to wonder if I'd have gotten it after reading the book, if Murakami is the kind of guy who doesn't need to sell based on covers so much. But I just wasn't feeling that one. Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, Kidd grew up in a Philadelphia suburb, strongly influenced by American popular culture. While a design student at Penn State, an art instructor once gave the assignment to design a book cover for Museums and Women by John Updike, who is also a Shillington native. The teacher panned Kidd's work in front of the class, suggesting that book design would not be a good career choice for him. However, Kidd later received professional assignments to design covers for Memories of the Ford Administration and other books by Updike. I think Kidd's covers tend towards the intriguing angle more often, which I can appreciate, but it's just not my style.On the days I felt like giving up and not finishing this book I thought of you. Not knowing when I’ll see you again makes me sad and blue, but when the sunshine greets me in the morning I know it’s you. Dedicated to my sweet Grams like I promised that night at Red Lobster... Me gusta mucho cómo termina la narración de cada proyecto, con una pequeña conclusión llamada: "primera impresión".

Judge this คือหนังสือสไตล์ Ted Talk ของ Kidd ที่เล่าถึงเบื้องหลังงานการออกเเบบปกหนังสือของเขา ผ่านหลักการ “ชัดเจนเเละลึกลับ” ที่กุญเเจสำคัญคือการใช้สองสิ่งนี้อย่างถูกที่ถูกเวลาเเละพอเหมาะพอควร A liberating journey through the life and times of Brittany Renner. This book details the experiences of a woman whom some love and others love to hate. It’s a behind-the-scenes look into her life. Some may categorize and prejudge without knowing her story, but here is her truth. Written in a raw and real voice with wittiness and humor, Brittany allows you to walk a mile in her shoes. Depending on your appetite for truth and reality, this book may make you laugh, cry, cringe, or all of the above. You should never judge a book by its cover. Judge This Cover by Brittany Renner – eBook Details you name it. Оливер Сакс в контрактах отдельно требовал, чтобы обложки всех его книг рисовал именно Кидд. И вот в отличной серии TEDBooks вышла его книжка «Судите сами», которая учит основам понимания дизайна. Само собой, за полторы сотни страниц всего не объять, зато плотность информации в маленьком чёрном том��ке зашкаливает: никакой воды, только суть. Well, it turns out that sometimes the stories behind the covers are better than the covers. Or maybe it's that I don't usually understand what Chip Kidd is referencing with his covers.This book is a woman famous for her ass-ets trying to write a book about love using the same lesson repeated and never learned with guys who we only care about because the media told us it was Drake or Tyga, but are clearly not. This is a book that clearly had very little direction in performance; granted this gave more of a candid feel. This book from chapter to chapter feels like a broken record and just when you thought she had a pearl of wisdom to give us, it turns out it was a bead out of her boba' tea. Fraud by David Rakoff is a good example. I never really understood that what was being presented was a book with a gratified cover. Now that it was explained, I like it better, but...maybe I'm just dumb. Or maybe it's not as obvious as Chip Kidd thinks it is.
