Over the weekend I
picked up Amy Poehler’s new book Yes Please. Having already read Mindy
Kaling’s, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without me and Tina Fey’s, Bossypants, I
was excited to see how Amy’s book compared in this genre of comedic memoirs. Not
only is Yes Please gracefully written, the design of the book is completely
unique. The book makes a strong first impression with glossed pages instead of
paper. Inside there are bold and colorful graphics that divide the book into
sections. The text is occasionally broken up with bulleted lists and images. Additionally, the typography is varied throughout which keeps the reader visually engaged. These bold design elements elevate the book
and make it stand out among the rest. Between the witty writing and colorful
design, Yes Please has debuted the genius that is Amy Poehler.
