For my contextual studies report I am writing about book cover design, focusing on Penguin Books and how technology such as the Kindle and Ipad are affecting the publishing industry. David Pearson a designer who has worked with Penguin. He has designed a number of their covers, such as the Penguin By Design book, which I have shown previously in my blog.
David recently gave a lecture at my uni and I took the opportunity to contact him by phone after the lecture, to give him a short interview about his thoughts and opinions on what the future of books will be, and how the Kindle etc will effect book cover design. David gave some really interesting and in depth answers, which really helped me with my report and got me thinking about what the future of books will be. I really appreciated his time and he was a really nice and chatty character.
