Hey hey. chip kidd has a very parculiar kind of design, wierd or strange might be being more blunt. this was a design pic on his behalf for winning the award from AIGA for best design and best selling author. Here we can see use of very soft toned colors that don't seem to out balance each other making it work very well altogether. simple black and white photo has some relation to the page that seems to have a somewhat xerox halftone pattern. Nice.
