回顾大师 Paul Bacon:开创历史的封面设计
Paul Bacon passed away at 91. During over 50 years of his design career, he has made cover art for nearly 6,500 books and 200 covers. His signature “Big Book Look” is prominent and powerful with eye-catching, full-width hand-drawn titles, minimal saturated colors, and a few abstract yet eclectic graphics. It fully met the needs of commercial book design at the late twentieth century, while not sacrificing personality and distinctiveness. His passion for Jazz also left a treasure in Jazz album cover design.
