What goes into designing a book, and how does its design shape the way we experience knowledge? In celebration of Johns Hopkins University's 150th anniversary, join Johns Hopkins University Press for a fascinating look at the history and art of scholarly publishing, from the evolution of typography and the printed page to the creative decisions behind today's book covers and layouts.
Barbara Klein Pope, executive director of Johns Hopkins University Press, shares the Press's history and mission; Elisabeth Long, Sheridan Dean of Libraries, Archives and Museums, explores the evolution of book design across centuries; and Molly Simmons, art director at the Press, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, including the design of "Johns Hopkins: The First 150 Years".
Discover how thoughtful design does more than make books beautiful—it makes knowledge accessible, engaging, and enduring.
