Add a CommentFantastic speech and very whimsical layout.
This little book is a transcription of Gaiman's "Make Good Art" speech, elevated with graphic design by Chip Kidd. I read this whenever I need a reminder that art is hard- but art is rewarding if you enjoy what you're doing!
This is a fabulous, FABULOUS book!
Gaiman has made me want to sort through all my fabric and yarn, finish abandoned projects, and start some new ones. Inspiration!
The graphic design of this highlights and emphasizes Gaiman's sometimes deceptively simple but wise advice. A perfect title for graduating students or any creative person needing a boost or encouragement.
Kidd's text-based art brings a unique dimension to Gaiman's already simple but inspirational speech. His message is applicable to anyone, not just artists or graduates. A word of caution to ebook readers: Because the visual aspect is as important as the verbal, the font cannot be adjusted as it typically can with ebooks. This means that some of the text may be especially tiny if you’re reading on a small mobile device.
