http://assets5.designsponge.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/finalcover.jpg  I've been blogging for almost a decade now, and I can say that, without a doubt, writing a book is the hardest thing I've ever done. Not only does it challenge you to have a clear, focused vision and voice, but it also requires a level of dedication and passion that can be difficult to maintain over a two-year production period. So I have an endless amount of respect for anyone who undertakes this process — and does so successfully. More importantly, I am proud to celebrate one of my closest colleagues and friends, Amy Azzarito, on having made it through this process with her very first book. Amy has spent the last two years turning her design history column for Design*Sponge, Past & Present, into a beautiful new book for STC/Abrams. I've seen her shape a small kernel of an idea into a book that is full of thoughtful and passionate essays about design history and creative projects that extend those ideas from the past into today's modern world. I'm always proud to see a member of our team do well, but this accomplishment really means a lot to me because I saw how hard Amy worked on this every day. So I'm thrilled to share a sneak peek of Amy's new book cover! Illustrated by Julia Rothman, it's a great entryway into a book that is brimming with interesting design stories and fun ways to bring them to life. A huge congrats to Amy and everyone else who helped her make Past & Present a reality. I can't wait to have this book on my shelf. xo, grace The full post continues after the jump . . . (more…)
