Chip Kidd Speaks at SCAD

SCAD-Atlanta Writer Series Presents Chip Kidd
Thursday, April 17
7:30 p.m.
SCAD-Atlanta
1600 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga.

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 Fall 2003 Newsweek included him in its first-ever issue devoted to design. "The Cheese Monkeys" (Scribner, 2001), Kidd’s first novel, was a national bestseller as well as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His second novel, "The Learners," was published February 2008. This event is free and open to the public, and a book signing will follow the lecture. Free parking available on site. For more information, call 404.253.3100

I wish our class was T/TH. Then we would not be having class.

For all of you who have had not had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Kidd speak, he is absolutely hilarious. Go.
