Chip Kidd Poster

One of my first graphic design projects was an homage to Chip Kidd. I used Adobe Illustrator to create a portrait of Chip using Live Paint. I was very impressed with the variety of his book covers and used a black and white montage of the covers for the backdrop. For a more unified look, I created a gradient map in Adobe Photoshop to layer over the black and white backdrop so that it would match the tones in the portrait of Chip.
