BEAT IV ///

I love this book that was done by Pentagram’s Angus Hyland. Amazing piece of editorial design and illustration work.

My Book Cover in the NY Times

Just found out that a book I did the cover for was reviewed in the Holiday Gift Guide/Books section of the NY Times! It printed in the NYC edition on November 28th, 2008 so if anyone out there has a copy please let me know. The book is “BLACK: the History of a Color” by Michel Pastoureau.

Philosophy Series

I’m currently working on a design for a series of books in philosophy. The series will have around 20 titles and is tentatively called Foundations of 21st Century Philosophy. While I’m working on the jackets/covers my Art Director will be designing the interiors. Here are some sketches I started out with…we’re going with the one in the bottom right, which I’ll now use to create a design lexicon (look/feel/vocabulary) for the entire series. I think it’s going to turn out pretty cool and we’re approaching it as more of a package design (or even branding) project, really taking into account how each book will play a specific role in the overall effect of the design.
