Mark Arnold and Visual Books
I’ve been working with Mark Arnold on a nearly daily basis since 2001. Two of our favorite projects were the “visual editions” of Philip Yancey’s What’s So Amazing About Grace and Lee Strobel’s Case for Faith. (the links go to sites with samples, not to the Amazon product pages – check them out.)
We’ve recently been contracted to revisit the first two books, updating them and making some changes to trim size, etc, and to create a visual edition of Yancey’s The Jesus I Never Knew. The new stuff should be out sometime near the end of 2010.
(I’m doing the first round of excerpt selection, quote gathering, and structure on JINK this week.)
The idea behind the visual approach is to communicate to a younger, more male audience and to give the text room to breathe – to give the ideas space enough for a person to wander around in them.
