Flickr member flypigs has made this series of six cover mock-ups for the rumored forthcoming Steve Jobs autobiography. They’re all pretty cool, and if you look at the notes for each photo you’ll see that flypigs has put a little research into it. For Steve Jobs: The Man Who Makes It A Different Place, flypigs stated: “After searching “Walter Isaacson” on Amazon.com, you will find almost all his books share the same layout of cover design — a big title on the top, a highly visible “Walter Isaacson” on the bottom, and a huge famous face in the center.”
Personally, my favorite is Connecting The Dots. It uses a photograph by Diana Walker called STEVE JOBS AT HOME IN 1982. Steve Jobs said of the photo: “This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.” I love the layout of the title and the fact that flypigs took the title from Steve Jobs’ 2005 Commencement address at Stanford University.
