Chip Kidd

 Chip Kidd has used a pale background to make the darker text stand out.  He has made full use of the space and filled it all with the text.  The font used for the words is an eye catching Art Deco style which is simple but gets the book noticed.

Chip Kidd has made the image of the fork look like a menacing hand by bending the prongs to look like fingers.  The red colouring makes it look like blood which would indicate that this book is probably a thriller?  The plain black background makes the image and overlaid text stand out.  Three colours have been used again, Red, black and white.

 Chip Kidd makes me smile, when I read the title of this book!  I do not know what it is about, but it sounds fascinating.  The background looks like a tea wash and the blue spine looks like acrylic paint.  The titles use different types and sizes of font. He has used four colours.  Pale orange, blue black and red. 

 Chip Kidd has used light and shade for the image on this cover.  He has used clever lines to build up the picture of the face.  The simplistic colours used for the authors name and the title make the image "pop" out at you.

 Chip Kidd has used three colours for the covers of these books.  The text is simple black and red on a white background.  The image of the dinosaur is made up of block colour.  Using black on a white background gives the impression of depth. Although it is a plain image it shows everything you need to know about this book!

Chip Kidd has made an image of Batman in this instance.  He has used the universally recognised symbol for Batman on the bottom half of this picture using the characteristic black colouring with white writing over the top.  The top half shows Batman and some oriental imagery, including the face of a dragon.  The image is bright and eye catching and looks like a comic book.
