Here’s the official catalog solicitation for “my” HERE COMES CHARLIE BROWN! A PEANUTS POP-UP (edited by Charles Kochman) in the Spring 2024 @abramsbooks catalog. From my perspective as a first-time book-maker (non-academic, non-self-published comics category), working with Charlie and the Abrams team, as well as with Peanuts Worldwide LLC and @chipkidd, has taught me soooo much. Let's all do it again soon!

The Best

[williamjoyce]

My dear, kind and deliciously droll friend Chip Kidd (who to my mind the is greatest book designer of our time)just opened an amazing show on Batman and his many incarnations at the Society of Illustrators in New York. Here he is last night at the opening with my son Jack. Both Jack and I did Batman covers for Mr Kidd and they are in the show. Mine hangs beneath a cover by New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast who has been a hero of mine for many years. I am abashed and proud to be hanging next to her. There are many other heroes and colleagues in the show and even some beloved former Moonbots. Frank Miller, Alex Ross, Chris Ware, Tony Millionaire, Vanessa Del Rey but I’m most proud to be hanging with my son Jackson Edward Joyce. If you scroll along you’ll see one of the many portraits he’s done of me as well a surreal image we collaborated on and one of his paintings that was featured recently by the Saatchi gallery of London. High toned stuff that. He is a fine lad, a killer cook, and a talented artist. Thank you Chip for including us. For me this is a most happy Sunday. May everyone’s be just as dandy. . . . . . . #batman #batmanart #illustrationart ##batmancomics #batmancollection #chipkidd #saatchi_gallery @jackson.e.joyce #vrdelrey #chrisware #tonymillionaire #societyofillustrators #frankmiller #alexross #rozchast @chip_kidd (at Society Of Illustrators) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEAFeHlKrh/?igshid=tru2zxblbdtl

Finished this earlier this summer. By #bookcover #designer #chipkidd. A sequel to his 1st #novel The Cheese Monkeys. A novel I read when it first came out. I vaguely remember the broad strokes – coming of age story of a boy that attends a state college & enrolls in design curriculum. Takes place in the 50s(?). While I don’t remember the details, I do remember it being utterly charming & very readable. This one is very much in the same vein. Follows our young designer newly graduated into his 1st job for a mom & pop ad agency in New Haven, CT. #Design by Chip Kidd (of course), with cover #illustration by #charlesburns and #lettering by #chrisware – a real murderer’s row of talent. #graphicdesign #advertising #typography #summerreading (at Bedford-Stuyvesant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfVPbgwOACK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Research - Chip Kidd

Chip Kidd is an American graphic designer who is best known for his book cover designs.

Kidd sees book covers as a brief view of the contents of the book, instead of the selling point. This makes his design different from other designers because they often hold a deeper meaning.

Darkness before the...

I love this design because it is simple. However, the audience will immediately be able to identify the contents of the book.

This book is a trade edition of the dark knight series. Kidd was able to be slightly abstract with his design because it is a well known comic series that most DC fans are familiar with.

By using a well known image of a black silhouette on a blue backgrounds, Kidd immediately conveyed that that the book was about Batman without using an image of the character. I like how the text is only on the spine of the book because it is not needed on the front cover. Furthermore, I like how the reader can only see part of the image unless they examine the book cover from front to back. I find this works well because it makes me want to pick up the book and I am more likely to think about reading it.

City on Fire

I like this design because it is clear to see that the cover has a meaning that links to the contents of the book. The cut out title to reveal the text makes me feel curious. I want to pick up the book and read it so I can understand the meaning behind the cover design, I love how I begin to question why the image looks like it istorn to reveal the authors name and how the fireworks link to the book.

I also like how the bright orange catches my attention which draws my eyes to the title. I also like how the spine only has imagery. This requires the reader to pick up the book off the shelf to have an idea of what the book is.

My fifth read for #januaryinjapan! I enjoyed all the Murakami posts for his birthday, but I was also feeling guilty that I hadn’t read any of his books yet. So the next time I went to the libraryI checked to see which of his books were on the shelf. Of course I was charmed by this little book, so I picked it up. . . I had very mixed feelings. I found parts of it charming, but then the ending kind of took the wind out of my sails. Then there was a sort of afterword that put a different slant on it? The whole thing just didn’t land very well. I have read that this isn’t a good intro to Murakami, so I still plan on trying another novel in the future. . . #bookreview #thestrangelibrary #harukimurakami #tedgoossen #chipkidd #translatedfromjapanese https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ZMHwehuTo/?igshid=1t6mhmlr0xsn3
