Peter Mendelsund’s NPR interview

I found the Peter Mendelsund’s NPR interview to be very interesting. I never realize how much thought is put into designing book jackets. I was surprised when he was explaining how he usually makes 100 variations of designs on one book jacket. Peter Mendelsund explained how every book has a mood. Designers show the books mood using different colors. After the interview, I looked at some of his designs online. I found them all to be unique and interesting to look at. When I was looking at his book jackets I was defiantly able to understand what he meant when he said every book has a mood.
