Trustees Lecture Series: Chip Kidd April 23, 2008

Chip Kidd is known for his work in the design and literary worlds. His book jacket designs for Alfred A. Knopf (where he has worked since 1986) have helped spawn a revolution in the art of American book packaging. In 1998 he was made a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale, and in the fall of 2003 Newsweek included him in its first-ever issue devoted to design. 'The Cheese Monkeys,' Kidd's first novel, was published in 2001 and was a national bestseller, as well as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His second novel is, 'The Learners.'
