Rats

I passed by this book three or four times before I realized why it was so clever. While I?m not especially impressed by the type or layout of the cover, Peter Sis did such a nice job with the illustration, I can?t help but like it. Plus the concept is fairly spot on. The uneven streets where the guts would be is an especially nice touch.

Thats not guts, thats the paths through central park.

the gold frame also makes it look a little like National Geographic

The yellow frame is what made me stop and look at this book when i saw it for the first time…

Another nice cover design that that uses map of Manhattan is “Infiltrate | The Front Lines of the New York Design Scene”. http://infiltratenyc.com

Wow. Very clever. The border does remind you of a National Geographic magazine.

I dunno, the border reminds me of a Joseph Cornell box… indeed I think the artwork owes more to art than commerce.
In any case, this cover is superb.

Dear Whitney,
please let me know what price will be around for the design of the jacket for the book?
Thank you.

Sincerely,

Julia

Which is the city that it is about?
It doesn’t look like mine, so I won’t be interested…
