底下截取一段metropolismag的文章

As artists in charge of shaping messages at all scales, it’s surprising that book designers are not a more outspoken lot. But they don’t capture the headlines with their work like designers of other everyday objects. Rarely do we get to hear the book designer’s tale. It’s not for lack of relevance, or artistry—the book designer fuses the work of writers, photographers, editors, and publishers into a stack of desirable paper and ink. Translating these voices into such a low-tech form requires an architect of the page. 

Irma Boom is the Dutch master of this quiet craft. Over the past fifteen years she’s created books on Vitra furniture, Ferrari cars, Camper shoes, and Dutch buildings. Her book on the work of textile designer Sheila Hicks, Sheila Hicks: Weaving as Metaphor, was named “Most Beautiful Book in the World” at the 2007 Leipzig Book Fair. Taking a break one evening to talk with metropolismag.com, Boom breaks the habit of her usually meek profession to discuss American design schools, the problem with “clients,” and the book in the age of the Internet.
