Kevin Smith named “New Visual Artist”

Kevin Smith has been selected as one of Print Magazine’s “New Visual Artists” whose work is featured in this month’s issue. Jami Attenberg writes,
“Smith’s design aesthetic tends to reflect the spirit of the content but not intrude on it; he knows he has succeeded as a designer when you don’t know he’s been there at all.”
Kevin’s interest in book design is also discussed:
“But it is when this energetic, unstoppable University of Hartford Art School graduate talks about book design that he is at his most contemplative—one almost imagines him dreaming about the craft as he sleeps. ‘Someone once said that book design is as close to architecture as a print designer can get. […] [B]ooks are lasting. I love bringing them into the world, because of their physical form, personality, and presence.’”
