Graphic Designer and Author Chip Kidd describes the process of designing a sinister cover for a collection of Christmas essays during a talk at MacEwan University on January 22, 2014.
Thanks Mr. Kidd for showing a process where you prepared some great concepts but were still denied. It gives hope, to me as a designer, to whom this happens to often enough.
OMG, both cover was fantastic. I wish I could fire the "creatives" who throw them away for that crap. And this man is a genius, because he still used his work in an other project. Now he and we got the last laugh.
Wow I really did not like that ending cover. It think that was a bad move, I wouldn't want to touch that book. I really liked the last santa one Chip that with the girl. Way more interesting and I didn't even think of santa showing his penis, I thought the girl was just shocked because santa had guns rather than presents. Oh well.

I hope you got some concept payment for that; your version was far more subversive, far more subtle, and far more tasteful than theirs!
"You better not cry" reads like a line from a popular Christmas song. 😅
"Or my favourite... the Quacky Hat."
THE DELIVERY.
I'M CRYING XD
This man is just amazing, I would love to work for him or just follow him around.
So true same

Excellent!
Wow! Can’t believe anyone would use that Santa! Both yours were better!
