@talanhorne,
Wow I think their thoughts are extremely correct! Personally I also like to read books which has nice covers! I feel cover is explaining the content of the book! Yeah I know I am not correct in every time! But I think in most cases we are searching books based on good and attractive cover images!
Cheers~
@talanhorne i want to see more organic upvotes for you i think your work deserve it. Regards
Honestly, I have never thought about it this way. But that’s true. Design of the book is perhaps one of the most important things when it comes to publishing new books. Many people judge books or choose books based on its cover. I didn’t know that you are looking for your book publisher first and then you work on book design. There are new things I learn. Even though I’m not a writer, I find it very interesting. With all due respect I watched short part of your first video and I find mistr Kidd very funny, but at the same time very smart.
Resteemed!
Another smart ideas by @talanhorne sir...
It was fun to see some of the inspiration behind Kidd's designs, especially for his book covers, but I think the book totally fails at it's perceived purpose: to illustrate the importance of judgement and first impressions. It spends about 25 pages talking about that subject and the remaining 100 or so delving into his design process. His book covers are undeniably brilliant, don't get me wrong, and it's worth checking out just to get some background info on his thought process in creating them. I just think it's strange that this book of all books would pull a bait and switch like that.
Also, considering how many winks and nudges there are at the reader in this, Chip Kidd plays it completely straight when he talks about what kind of Chips he ate when he was a Kid. I found that odd...
Cheers~~~
Such a wonderful and interesting article by @talanhorne sir...
Actualy I think...Far too short to actually do anything. Hopelessly self-indulgent for the problematic author. Also, rather misleading -- I'm led to think I'm getting a book of musings on the design aesthetics of the everyday items of our lives, but the bulk of the book is just the author telling me how he came up with ideas for the book covers he designs. I really couldn't care less about the forgettable designs of books I've never heard of.
Cheers~~~
Yes, first visual impression is very important as Chip Kidd said, but I have never looked at the cover or design of the book with that much of an importance as writing itself. I depend on recommendations, or if I know the author, I know I would be interested in reading this specific book. I know there are people looking at the book design first, perhaps I do it as well if I do not know the author. That’s why these book designers are in demand. I wonder how your book cover or design looks like. Anyway, what he was saying about an apple or trying tests with different designs was very interesting, very interesting to watch. It all makes sense. I have to admit, this guy is not only book designer, he is very good entertainer as well. These people definitely know what they are talking about.
It was interesting to see, Mr. Kidd is a big man in his business, he knows a lot. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the valuable article and good writing experience.
Thanks @talanhorne
have a great day
if an author wants to impress his readers that it is better than a good cover .. at that moment it is where Mr. TED acts doing the miracle of a beautiful and striking cover.
Yes, after watching the video, I also liked Mr. Kidd, he has been with him since the first minute. Thank you for the information.
You can't do everything by yourself.
Hope you get a competent designer :)

@talanhorne sir...
The beauty of TED talks books are that they're done by experts in whatever field is being discussed. You, the reader, can trust that they know their stuff- I find it comforting. The books, based on the 18 minute presentations, are not so long so that you feel overwhelmed or bored. I find myself branching out and exploring topics that I wouldn't normally be interested in because of their brevity. I'd never put too much thought into product design or labeling and Chip Kidd was just the guy to introduce it to me.
Take the billing on movie posters for example. I never knew that, by union contract, the names had to a certain size on the poster. Or, that there's a clearer font that could be used for improving the clarity of the names so that they can be read from further away, but it's never used. Who knew!
His dissection of the Diet Coke can and ad campaign was another of my favorite moments. Kidd comes off as funny as well as highly knowledgeable- one of the best combinations in my opinion.
Wel done and perfect work sir...

Awesome video, Chip Kidd!!
So Cool!!
Great article my dear thank you for sharing
I consume books. I love the smell, the texture, the heft, and the different worlds every book propels me towards. Every book Chip Kidd spoke about I have bought and consumed, propelled by the book cover. Yes I will admit that I judge a book by it's cover. I will admit that I resisted an ebook because I could not smell it. But you know what, I love my kindle, I love that I can get a book at 4 in the morning. I even like that they suggest books (though I rarely buy books o their suggestions) I read eclectically. I miss book stores, where I could roam letting books find me. It will be a tragic lose if we lose them completely.
Wonderful post sir. Resteem

Dear @talanhorne, Awesome talk!! I'm fascinated by the energy he has put into his talk. This "seemingly" boring profession seems to be his vocation. And the humorous air with which he has delivered the talk shows how excited he is about his profession. It is truly inspiring and bind-boggling.
woooow its great article book publication and book design is a an art and evry one is not and artist
Really great article indeed
Book design is a wonderful thing
I wish you all the best
entertainment is very funny, have a nice day
a great life, good luck always yes
How utterly wonderful that there are people out there that still appreciate the tactile quality of a book....we dinosaurs will preserve the legacy of a book well written and beautifully illustrated. Does anyone remember the feeling of running your fingers on a page where the metal font bit into the paper? The beauty of a ragged edge?
The beauty of an acid free paper with a hand tipped illustration on the page? The beauty of an illustration carefully guarded by a veil of vellum?
A debt of gratitude is in order for the profitable article and great written work understanding. Much appreciated @talanhorne
That great analysis and yourgreat openion thanks for sharig keep it up
Fantastic video sharing @talanhorne

Hello, I'm pretty new following you I did not know I was trying to publish a book.
My only advice is to search as far as it is impossible and guided by that intuition and previous work of the person you want in addition to the promotion that leads.
But EVERYTHING can be done, you just have to be perseverant.
A hug from Venezuela and I hope you can publish it.
P.D: I have put the videos to see later I'm at work. hahaa !!
