I have a BFA degree in painting, and an English degree. Yesterday I was jobless (and still am) and got to wondering: How does one go about trying to get a job, or commissioning work, with the goal of designing book covers? I know this is a shot in the dark, but I’m curious for any consultation.

I disagree with you on the “comic community doesn’t know who Chip Kidd is” comment. Since his book Mythology hit the shelves, many comics fans have been raving about the design of the book and how well Mr. Kidd presented Alex Ross’ DC painted work. It wasn’t until the that book that I realized who Kidd was or what his other work included. Since then I’ve developed an appreciation for his body of work.

Also, I think a well designed poster for the event would appeal to both the design community as well as the design challenged. I like the approach you took and don’t think it’s too cluttered. At first I thought you might have an issue with heirarchy, but I think it reads exactly as it should. I applaud you for not doing a Chip Kidd rip off…

Plus I learned something from your post…I had no idea Chip Kidd did the title design for DC’s All Star line. Neato.

I always find appealing to the average joe is harder than making a compelling work for the design community

Pixel, I think that would be fair. Tomorrow might be a good day for that.

That was a very daring article. Exposing your process to anyone is difficult, especially doing it live, with no real opportunity to “clean it up” in the end. Bravo. Very interesting read, and while the final product isn’t what you hoped, it’s still not -bad-. Are you going to finish it and post it up here?

Hey Nate,

I’m watching avidly and I’m finding it fascinating. I think it’s really cool that you’re sharing your process. Take that anyone who’s ever looked at a finished design and said, “If I knew the software, I could have done that.” There’s a lot of anxious “How about this? Or this?” that goes into it, even with longer than a 4 hour deadline.

I see where you’re going, and I like it.
