Watchmen Chip Kidd


This is a design I came across when looking for inspiration for a book cover design. The design is by Chip Kidd. The reason the design really caught my attention is because of the type treatment and the color contrasts. I think that the designer uses his space well to incorporate the type. It does seem a little packed but it is still very legible because of the contrast between black and yellow. Another part of this design that I really like is the illustration. I think the illustration is interesting because it captures a main characters eyes and face in the comic like way. Eyes are an interesting part to a person and having them be on the cover of a book is intriguing.
