Leanne Shapton, though perhaps I didn't know it, has been behind many of my favorite book jackets. I only recently became aware of her talents, as she has been selected as one of TIME Magazine's Design 100. Her beautiful and tactile illustrations are a delight to behold. She's also worked with a veritable "who's who" list of book designers. Below is her description from the Design 100 Website:
"In the tradition of versatile designers, Canadian-born Shapton not only designs book covers (and, incidentally, the cover of this magazine) but also writes and illustrates books, including Was She Pretty?, a collection of stories published in 2006. A former art director for Toronto-based Saturday Night, Shapton now draws illustrations for magazines, designs textiles, paints and edits an imprint, J&L Books, specializing in art and photography books."
