Jewish Book Covers: Intro

http://jewishbookcovers.blogspot.com/2011/06/intro.html

This blog is primarily for posting scans used in the presentation "Judging a (Jewish) Book by Its Cover" at the Association of Jewish Libraries conference in Montreal - June 21, 2011. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. So, this guy walks up to the reference desk and says, "I'm looking for a certain Holocaust book.". The librarian says, "I think I can help you. We have an extensive Holocaust section. What's the title of the book? I don't know.". No idea . but the cover is black.". And then shows him where to browse.

shelved books: August 2012

http://shelvedbooks.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 15, 2012. A couple years ago I briefly worked on a title called Designer Genes. Here is a short summary from the tip sheet:. The possibility exists that there will arise an elite class of genetically engineered citizens, followed by an era where each generation selects the genetic makeup of the subsequent generation. This man-driven evolution will replace Darwinian natural selection. Links to this post. Thursday, August 2, 2012. Hello again / New book project. Links to this post. Subscr...

shelved books: The Empathy Exams

http://shelvedbooks.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-empathy-exams.html

Thursday, July 10, 2014. Last year, Graywolf Press assigned me Leslie Jamison's extraordinary book, The Empathy Exams. The book has gone on to become a New York Times. Bestseller, no small feat for a work of essays. Essays and short story collections can be difficult to design for. Typically, I try to hone in on one of the essays and tie the cover into the imagery and theme of that essay. Of empathy. I used warm colors and paint to project the rawness of the writing. We kept refining the one with the hea...

shelved books: June 2011

http://shelvedbooks.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 23, 2011. A quick post to introduce my new design portfolio site: www.kimberlyglyder.com. Links to this post. Monday, June 13, 2011. Fast forward many years. Last month I was at AIGA’s New York office judging the 50 books / 50 covers show. This was not only meaningful to me as a designer, but also because the show itself had been cancelled. There has already been much said on the subject­­— good and bad. From the Book Design Review blog and designers Arthur Cherry. Last year, the criteria ...

shelved books: May 2015

http://shelvedbooks.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 1, 2015. The Price of Thirst. A newly released book about our global water crisis, published by University of Minnesota Press. The idea was to position this title in the trade market as much as possible, while setting it apart from other covers about the water crisis which incorporate water imagery. The first option I showed is a graphic approach. The water droplet is multiplied and creates an alarming visual:. Cover photograph © Amit Dave/Reuters/Corbis. Links to this post. HOW Top Ten Sites.

shelved books: Brain on Fire

http://shelvedbooks.blogspot.com/2012/11/brain-on-fire.html

Monday, November 5, 2012. Is an inspiring memoir by Susannah Cahalan, a New York based journalist. Here is an excerpt from the author's site:. My memoir Brain on Fire. The original direction on this cover was for it to be warm, clean, and evocative—something that may allude to the medical aspect of the writing but still look approachable and human. The publisher nixed the idea of a photo of the author on the cover, so these were to be type driven comps. Here are a few of the 1st round comps:. Here, I cre...
