Would like to add that the cover design for Tony Adams revealing new book 1996 from @FD is by the brilliant @SteveLeard and the smashing cover photography by Alexandra Arlett.
So, here it is. Out April. Almost certainly my last football book and a special one to end with. So much new material here that surprised even me as Tony was talking. We have a special signed hardback limited edition on our website. Order one while they last. #FootballShorts
NEWS! @designplym has launched a YouTube channel featuring interviews with its guest speakers. I got to sit in on one of these when the brilliant @typeasimage visited back in 2023. You can watch it here:

Look! @AtlanticBooks sent me a copy of my new book and itโs beautiful. Perfect timing to be writing about the end of civilisations.

I recently interviewed the notable British cover designer David Pearson RDI, who is a self-confessed Typophile, naming his company โType As Imageโ where typography is king. open.spotify.com/episode/6pTโฆ
Really enjoyed chatting with @PublishingRodeo on all things cover design, publishing and AI.
This week, @SteveLeard (a freelance cover artist and fellow podcaster!) joins us to demystify all things cover design: processes, briefs, trends, industry pay, the problem with thumbnails... and finally, the looming specter of generative AI.
