In between, I forget if there was like a match stick or some little same size thing drowning in white space. And you can tell, what's funny is that they weren't, it was frustrating and aggravating. And I assume for all book cover designers and even for many authors. But what they were trying to do was kind of just...

get in costume for, you know, if you like this, you'll like that. They're just trying to like kind of visually support the algorithmic recommendation of people who bought the tipping point also enjoy this, you know, and how do we signal that with design? So I think a lot of trends period happen because of that. You know, I think every design is simultaneously trying to look like something you've never seen before, but it has to operate within something sufficiently familiar that you can process it within your own

You've said that one of your favorite book covers is the old paperback, the maroon paperback of Catcher in the Rye. It is just text with a sort of maroon background. Why do you like that one so much? Well, when I say that, book cover fans out there, I'm referring specifically to, I forget who had the, I think it was Bantam Books published the paperback.

Catcher in the Rye used to have this maroon cover with no image on it at all and just the words Catcher in the Rye in all caps times Roman in yellow and underneath it smaller in all caps times Roman yellow was the author's name J.D. Salinger.

Muistan, kun olin luonut tÀmÀn kirjan aiemmin, ettÀ se oli vahvaa ja hieman vaikeaa. Olin usein luomassa, he eivÀt kutsuneet sitÀ nuorten elokuvana, mutta olin luonut paljon Hearty Boysista ja muuta.

Muistan sitÀ kirjaa ja ajattelin, ettÀ jokaisella kirjalla oli kuvia siitÀ. Kirjalla oli lapset kuten minÀ tekemÀssÀ lapsen asioita, ja se piti olla hauskaa. Ja sitten tÀssÀ on tÀmÀ kirja, joka on vain kirjassa. Ja tiedÀn vain yhden muun kirjan, joka nÀyttÀÀ niin. Ja se oli Jumalan kirja. Jumala sanoi, ettÀ Jumala on Jumalan kirja. Ja se oli kaikki, jota minulla oli kuvassa. Joten ajattelin, ettÀ tÀmÀ kirja pitÀisi olla jotain. Muistan ensimmÀisen kerran, ettÀ olin tÀysin yllÀttÀnyt siitÀ. Se oli ÀÀniÀ ÀÀniÀ. En tiedÀ, oliko se oikein.

It just spoke to me like someone was talking to me face to face. And I associated the emotional connection I had with the book to the mysterious presentation of the cover. All of us have things like that. It could be an album cover. It could be a...

A band logo, it could be a fashion brand for some people. And there's just something about, you know, the way that they've chosen to present it and the way it connected with you at a certain moment in your life emotionally, that you sort of invested with all this meaning that in a way you can't.

ettÀ se ei tarkoita mitenkÀÀn siitÀ, mikÀ sen tarkoittaa. Se on kaksi vÀliÀ. Se on maailman suurimmasta tyyppisestÀ tyyppisestÀ tyyppisestÀ. Ja se on maailman suurimmasta tyyppisestÀ tyyppisestÀ tyyppisestÀ. Joten siinÀ on jotain siitÀ, mikÀ oli minulle niin yllÀttÀvÀÀ, ettÀ tuntui, ettÀ kÀsitys voi toimia paljon eri tavoilla. Mutta se, mitÀ se aina tarvitsee, on tarkoitus. Se tÀytyy tarkoittaa jotain, joka tarkoittaa sitÀ vÀliÀ. Se ei voi luoda sitÀ vÀliÀ mitenkÀÀn.

We are running out of time, unfortunately. You've talked about your retirement in other places, and you said that you're going to miss the design challenge, but mostly you're going to miss working with your team, and I'm wondering if you could talk a bit more about that. Design is the most wonderful thing in the world. The things that we would say in meetings, and a lot of times I would come home and Dorothy would say, you know, how was work, and increasingly my report would be, someone who worked for me just designed the greatest thing.

En voi kertoa, kuinka monta kertaa olisin saanut koko tukivuotiaan rauhoittumaan. Jotkut kertoisivat minulle, ettÀ Àiti, olisikö sinÀ! Ja minÀ olisin vain rauhoittunut. Se oli niin hauskaa nÀhdÀ, ettÀ joku kertoi jotain tÀllaista. Se ei tapahtunut joka pÀivÀ, mutta silloin, kun se tapahtui, se oli minun pÀivÀni.

What's so funny is it didn't matter to me at all whether it was happening to me or happening to someone else. I was in the office a few weeks ago and two of my partners were working on something, a project that I was aware of. And they said, do you want to see how that came out? And they showed me the thing they were going to propose to the client. And it was so perfect. I kind of just was like, god damn, I can't believe you.

I did that! It's so great! It just made me so happy. I love design, but that doesn't mean I need to do all of the design in the world. I love it as a spectator as much as a participant.

HÀn oli ensimmÀisenÀ lÀÀkÀrissÀ West Side Storyin, mutta sitten hÀn alkoi kirjoittaa tÀysiÀ musikaaleja. HÀn tuli musiikin ja lausun tyyppi. HÀn teki miljoonaa esiintyjÀÀ, jotka olivat todella mahtavia. HÀnellÀ oli vain yksi yllÀttÀvÀ asia jÀlkeen.

He lived into his 90s, but I would say along the way, probably even as early as his 60s, he started, somehow he didn't quite have it anymore, if you ask me.

This is someone who admires him beyond all words. In his last decades, he really just had a few shows, some of which never really got completely worked out. None of them were world-shaping hits or influences in the culture even that his earlier work was. On the other hand...

Jokaisen pÀivÀn jÀlkeen löydÀn online kirjoja, joita hÀn kirjoitti nuorelle. Se ei ole poliittinen kirjoittaminen fanille.

He eivÀt tunneet, ettÀ hÀn oli kiinnostunut nÀhdÀ tÀmÀn workshopin. HÀn oli pitÀnyt kirjoittaa viikonloppuun. En tiedÀ, ettei olemme kuitenkaan saaneet tapahtumaa, mutta minun pitÀisi kertoa, kuinka hienosti olin, kun nÀin tuon tuotteen ja niin edelleen. MinÀ vain kirjoitin yhden, jonka joku kirjoitti viimeisenÀ pÀivÀnÀ. Kun hÀn kuoli, ihmiset sopivat ja sanoivat, ettÀ en ollut mitÀÀn. Sain tÀmÀn kirjan Stephen Sondheimista.

It gave me the courage to go on. So I think if you're looking for a worthy thing to do in your golden years, Roman or Michael, you could do a lot worse than trying to figure out a way to make the world a better place, not by...

ja mennÀ takaisin rinnastoon uudelleenvastaisuudelle, mutta myös tunnistaa ihmisiÀ, jotka voivat auttaa maailman edelleen ja antaa heille kaikkea. Annetaan heille kaikki tukea, mitÀ voi antaa heille. Se on todella kaunis asia tehdÀ. TÀmÀ on tÀydellinen paikka loppua tÀhÀn. Michael Beirut, kiitos paljon, ettÀ puhuit minulle. Roman, kiitos. Toivottavasti voimme tehdÀ tÀtÀ noin 10 vuotta, ehkÀ. Katsotaan, kuinka se menee.
