You know, I loved Chip Kidd until I actually saw him do a talk on his work a couple weeks ago!
Bitter little backstabber, actually. He kept showing designs he did, which didn't get used, and blaming it on the specific authors. He struck several very, very low blows. Nasty little bitch, in the tradition of old interior decorators and hairdressers.
After seeing him, I certainly wouldn't want him to design my book. And I won't buy any of his products, either.
YMMV.

I'm always surprised when very succesful people can still be insecure.

note: when I had one thin paragraph of fiction published in Gordon Lish's "the Quarterly", it was Chip Kidd's first book cover

my only bad experience in meeting/seeing a designer talk about their work was when the design club at school 4 years ago wanted david carson to come speak instead of art chantry. that bag of dicks picked up $2k plus airfare, but never showed up.

They had a meet the judges event here in DC last Friday and we got to drink with Chip Kidd, Josh Chen, and some other lady who's name I forgot. Chip was nice and very funny and animated but I could definitely see how people could be put off with him. Josh Chen on the other hand may be one of the nicest people I have ever met.
