Good is Dead

Though he's been around for a while, I thought I would do an entry on Chip Kidd.  I picked up his book, Chapter One, a while ago - actually got it signed when he was touring - but have recently begun to read it again.  One of the stories that got me last time I read it was regarding one of his most well known covers - Jurassic Park.  If I remember it right, he drew the dinosaur graphic for the cover, then sold it to the movie people, not realizing it would literally become the icon for the movie.  It was on everything, and they got the rights to it for a steal.
