Celebrating the Artist Behind the Cover
While importance of book covers in creating the desire to read is unconsciously understood, the artists behind said covers are not so noticed. Therefore, an exhibit to highlight contemporary book covers and their designers was born.
Pairing Digital with Physical
An interactive kiosk was designed for exhibit goers to learn more about the featured books’ cover designers. The floor was dedicated to the books, while the digital experience was dedicated to their designers. Notable Penguin Random House creative designers and art directors include Helen Yentus, Chip Kidd, and more.
