Pushing the Limits
Chip Kidd Design, New York, New York, 2004
Description
This is basically the first assignment everyone gets in Typography 101 (or at least the one I got): “Give a piece of typography appropriate form based on its content.” Very simple. Since it’s a book about engineering, I included a graph-paper pattern to enhance the effect. I like best that it looks like a boil longing to be lanced.
