Here Comes Everybody

While this isn’t exactly high concept, I do love the choice of photography.

Also note A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which is basically the same thing.

The hardcover for Here Comes Everybody is nice, too.

Overwhelming in a good way. I’m a fan.

However, I think I prefer the hardcover version. The buttons are super eye-catching.

there’s also a nice subtle spot varnish that unfortunately doesn’t show with this cover image

The one with the buttons is the UK edition (hardcover), and while I prefer that one as well, the US version (with the crowd shot) is growing on me. As Michael points out, there’s spot varnished interconnected dots that give the design some depth. I’m 80 pages into this and can recommend it highly.

I actually prefer the US version to the UK hardcover version, if I may say so. The UK verson makes my eyes jump far too much, and my brain has a hard time unifying it, despite the individual loveliness of the buttons.

I feel delightfully claustrophobic when I look at the US version—I hate crowds. Paired with the title, I am intrigued. I bet the varnish makes it really nice.

I liked the concept and i think its better than button one.

the buttons are fun to look at but i gotta say it lacks the bluntness and straightforwardness of the crowd design. And sometimes it’s about getting that blunt, simple message across.

crowdsourcing comes to mind…

are pins going to be the next design cliche?

Do people stand that closely together even in the most crowded situations? I mean, seriously… there are a lot of greasy-haired, stinky people out there.

The cover looks stock and boring, frankly. Though I do like circles.

To be honest I’m not a big fan, I think the concept is to literal, and it seems like he took the easy way out. It would of been better to see an extreme close up on a mass of sperm. Better yet a photo of the Berlin wall coming down and the masses following. “The power of organizing without organization”
