New #ILoveTheseGuys post for Peter Mendelsund from New York student Jennifer Yoo. Find out more about the designer and project highlights.

Peter Mendelsund has done it all—he’s worked as a dishwasher, a bookseller, a butler, a pianist, chicken farmer, teacher, cover designer, house painter, commercial composer, branding consultant, & writer. He’s also worked as an art director for the publisher Alfred A. Knopf, and is currently leading the redesign of The Atlantic magazine while also working on his second book, The Delivery.

His book covers for Dostoevsky are a brilliant and harmonious mix of tracking, leading, font weights, font types, and styles. They meld together like a symphony and this may be inspired from his training as a concert pianist.
