Central Oregon Writers Guild Thursday March 26, 2009 meeting topic is ”Book Jacket Design: The process of getting it right”, presented by award-winning designer Christopher Gilbert. Chris will explain the process of hatching a book cover, which he says is more than subjective when it comes to good design. He will bring examples and present the ins and outs of working with large publishing houses and self published authors. Christopher’s presentation will include time to answer questions and address comments from participants.
Christopher Gilbert has been designing book jackets and covers for over 12 years. He graduated with a BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design. He has had many covers featured in numerous design publications, and has won national and regional Advertising Federation awards. Chris owns a small design studio with his business partner in Sisters, Oregon. When he’s not designing he enjoys spending time with his wife and children exploring Central Oregon and making summer trips to National Parks in the West. His work can be viewed at www.studiogearbox.com.
A critique session follows the program, and is limited to three readers. Attendees who would like to read and receive feedback should bring 20 copies of their written work.
