Often called “the closest thing to a rock star” in graphic design, Knopf art director and author Chip Kidd has designed more than 2,000 book covers for authors from Michael Crichton to John Updike. Kidd has compiled his graphic design work in Book One; written a well-reviewed novel, The Cheese Monkeys loosely based on his college experiences, and exhibited his work at Cooper Union in 2006. Kidd’s newest piece of fiction, The Learners, made its debut in 2004 online as part of USATODAY.com’s Open Book series.
